The Orioles' right-hander entered the game with an 0-5 mark and was not trending in the right direction. He carried an ERA of 5.75 in four June starts into the game, with opposing hitters batting .356 against him.
Looks can be deceiving, though. Gausman's fastball hovered around 98 mph for most of his 7 2/3 innings, as he held the Rays to no runs on four hits en route to his first win of the season.
J.J. Hardy and Adam Jones had RBI singles in the second against Rays starter Matt Andriese.
