The Rockies had a disappointing start to their three-game series with the Nationals, as they lost big on Tuesday. They’ll try to right the ship in game two when Austin Gomber takes the hill against fellow lefty Patrick Corbin.
Gomber (1-2, 3.86 ERA) is making his fourth start of the season. His first start was tough, his second was great, and his third was solid, so he’ll be looking to build on this momentum. Gomber has made one career start versus Washington - back in 2018, when he was with the Cardinals. In that outing, he tossed six shutout innings and allowed just three hits while striking out six batters, though he did issue four free passes.
