Austin Gomber - Page 11 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Strong showing versus Phillies Gomber allowed three runs on five hits and struck out six over 6.2 innings without walking a batter in a no-decision versus the Phillies on Friday.

Impact Four of the five hits Gomber allowed came in the seventh inning, and they led to three runs thanks to home runs by Alec Bohm and Kyle Schwarber. Even with the late fade, this was Gomber's third straight quality start, though it's also the second time in eight outings he's allowed multiple homers. The 29-year-old southpaw has a 6.30 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 28:16 K:BB across 40 innings this season. He's projected for a home start versus the Reds next week.

Collects third straight win Gomber (3-4) picked up the win Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over six innings in a 5-2 victory over the Mets. He struck out three.

Impact After a shaky start to the season, Gomber has turned a corner and won three straight outings, posting a 1.59 ERA and 1.06 WHIP in 17 innings over that stretch. His 10:7 K:BB during the win streak is far from dominant, but the southpaw has kept the ball in the park and limited any damage. While he's trending in the right direction, Gomber will still carry a 6.75 ERA into his next start, which is likely to come next weekend in Coors Field against the Phillies.

Picks up second win Gomber (2-4) earned the win Sunday, allowing one run on three hits and two walks over six innings against the Diamondbacks. He struck out four.

Impact Gomber neutralized the Diamondbacks on Sunday, allowing just two hits and no runs outside of a solo homer by Evan Longoria in the second inning. After giving up 22 runs over his first 16.1 innings and taking the loss in each of his first four starts, Gomber has bounced back with a pair of wins and has given up one run and six hits in his last 11 frames. Though it's certainly been an encouraging stretch for the 29-year-old, fantasy managers shouldn't expect it to sustain considering he owns a 5.32 ERA and 1.55 HR/9 in his time with the Rockies.

Blanks Guardians for first win Gomber (1-4) picked up the win in Mon day's 6-0 victory over Cleveland, allowing three hits and three walks over five scoreless innings. He struck out three.

Impact After a brutal beginning to the season that saw Gomber take a loss in four straight trips to the mound with a 12.12 ERA, the southpaw was able to find some success against the Guardians. Given his early struggles and the fact the Rockies had the game well in hand, Gomber's exit after just 83 pitches (45 strikes) was likely a move to build up his confidence rather than risking a stumble in the sixth inning. He'll look to build on this performance in his next start, likely coming at home against Arizona over the weekend, but his 15:12 K:BB through 21.1 innings highlights his limited fantasy appeal, particularly at Coors Field.

Struggles in fourth straight loss Gomber (0-4) took the loss Wednesday, allowing nine runs on nine hits with three walks over two innings against the Pirates. He struck out one.

Impact The 29-year-old southpaw took his fourth consecutive loss Wednesday, lasting only two innings and giving up nine runs during that span. His 12.12 ERA and 2.14 WHIP over 16.1 innings this season reflect a lack of consistency and an inability to pitch effectively; however, Gomber is not alone, as the entire Colorado pitching staff has struggled this season, ranking near the bottom of the league in runs allowed and OBA.

Takes third straight loss Gomber (0-3) took the loss Friday, allowing five runs on six hits and four walks over 3.2 innings against the Mariners. He struck out two.

Impact Gomber has had a rough start this year, posting an 8.16 ERA in 14.1 innings pitched. The southpaw is averaging less than five innings per start, which puts too much stress on the Colorado bullpen. The Florida native will need to improve expeditiously if he hopes to maintain his starting role.

Can't get out of fifth inning Gomber (0-2) took the loss against Washington on Saturday, pitching 4.2 innings and allowing five runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out five batters.

Impact Gomber got through two scoreless frames before Stone Garrett tagged him for a three-run home run in the third. After a 1-2-3 fourth inning, Gomber found himself in trouble again in the fifth, as three straight hits led to two more runs. He was pulled after Joey Meneses tagged him for a two-out double. Gomber notched a quality start against San Diego in his first outing, but he's lost both of his first two appearances while posting a 6.75 ERA and 9:2 K:BB over 10.2 frames.

Allows three runs in loss Gomber (0-1) took the loss Sunday, allowing three runs on four hits and one walk over six innings in a 3-1 loss against the Padres. He struck out four.

Impact Gomber gave up a solo home run to Trent Grisham and a two-run shot to Xander Bogaerts in the bottom of the third inning, but the left-hander was able to compose himself and submitted a quality start in his regular-season debut. Across 33 starts with Colorado in 2022, Gomber posted a 5.56 ERA and 1.37 WHIP with a 95:34 K:BB over 124.2 innings.

Gets contract for 2023 Gomber agreed Wednesday with the Rockies on a one-year, $1.65 million deal to avoid arbitration, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Impact Gomber split time between the rotation and the bullpen in 2022, logging a 5.56 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 95:34 K:BB in 124.2 innings. With Colorado making no major additions to its pitching staff so far this offseason, Gomber will likely get another chance this spring to audition for a rotation spot, but he'll presumably have a short leash even if he breaks camp with a starting role.

Fans four in spot start Gomber allowed one run on three hits and one walk while striking out four batters over three innings in a no-decision against the Dodgers on Wednesday.

Impact Gomber had been coming out of the bullpen since late July, but he was given the opportunity to start the Rockies' season finale. The right-hander allowed just one run in three frames but wasn't stretched out, so he departed after 46 pitches. Gomber's second season in Colorado was his worst so far in the majors, as he finished with a 5.56 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 95:34 K:BB over 124.2 innings.

Gets start in season finale Gomber is listed as the Rockies' starting pitcher in Wednesday's season finale against the Dodgers.

Impact Gomber opened the season as a member of Colorado's rotation, but he was moved to the bullpen following the All-Star break and has thus far been serving as a reliever during the second half. He'll get the chance to finish the season as a starter while the Rockies are short on available arms, but Gomber likely won't be counted on to provide much length. He hasn't recorded more than 10 outs in any of his relief outings over the past month.
