Austin Gomber Stats

Colorado Rockies left-hander Austin Gomber took the loss on Friday against the Giants as he allowed two earned runs on just one hit with five strikeouts and four walks over 6 1/3 innings in a 3-1 loss in San Francisco. After issuing seven free passes in his Rockies' debut last week, Gomber was once again done in by the walks. He held the Giants to just one hit in the outing but walked Darin Ruf and Buster Posey in the bottom of the sixth and was removed from the game. His replacement, Tyler Kinney proceeded to walk Alex Dickerson before serving up a two-run double to Brandon Crawford, which closed the book on Gomber. He was saddled with the loss as the Rockies offense couldn't get anything going against crafty veteran Johnny Cueto. The 27-year-old southpaw fired 104 pitches but only 66 went for strikes. He now carries a 2.89 ERA over 9 1/3 innings this year but has a lopsided 7:11 K/BB ratio. He'll get the Dodgers on the road in his next start and is not a recommended play in that one.

Colorado Rockies LHP Austin Gomber struggled mightily with his command in his team debut on Sunday vs. the Los Angeles Dodgers. He took the loss as he allowed three runs (one earned) on one hit with seven walks and just two strikeouts over three innings. Gomber simply couldn't find the strike zone on Sunday, throwing just 37 of his 73 pitches for strikes. He registered a 19:2 K/BB ratio across 19 2/3 innings during spring training but that was in Arizona. He got a taste of what pitching in the high altitude of Coors Field feels like on Sunday. The 27-year-old southpaw should have a better go of it in his next scheduled start against the Nationals in D.C. but he's not a recommended fantasy arm at the moment.

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Austin Gomber struggled in his first start with Colorado, allowing three runs one earned on one hit and seven walks while striking out two in three innings of work. The headlining player going to the Rockies in the Nolan Arenado trade earlier this year, Gomber's numbers outside of the walks weren't all that bad. But he struggled with command as Just 37 of his 73 pitches (50.7%) were strikes. It was a stark contrast to his Spring Training numbers, in which he had 19 strikeouts to just two walks in 19 2/3 innings of work. Hopefully Gomber will show improvement with his control in his next scheduled start against the Giants.
