Orioles right-hander Kevin Gausman didn’t feel like he had his best stuff in Tuesday’s series opener against the Toronto Blue Jays, but this season has included his share of nights when he has felt the exact opposite and was chased from the game early.
While Gausman still has a lot to show to turn his tumultuous season around, there are signs that he is doing so.
Frustrated by the spiral his season was experiencing, Gausman changed some things after his 3 1/3-inning, seven-run outing at Yankee Stadium on June 11. Most noticeably, he moved from the first base side of the rubber toward the middle, which he hoped would allow him better locate his fastball down and away to right-handed hitters.
