Austin Gomber - Page 24 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Allows five runs Thursday Gomber allowed five runs on eight hits and no walks while striking out three over 5.1 innings in Thursday's spring win over the Angels. He didn't factor into the decision.

Impact Gomber gave up four home runs over the first five innings Thursday but still maintained his control and didn't issue any walks. The southpaw had three scoreless outings to begin spring training but has now given up seven runs in 9.2 innings across his past two starts. However, Gomber will still begin the regular season in the starting rotation during his first year with the Rockies.

Gives up two runs in spring loss Gomber (0-1) allowed two runs on three hits and no walks while striking out four over 4.1 innings as he was charged with the loss in Saturday's spring game against the Cubs.

Impact Gomber had tossed seven scoreless innings across his first three spring starts, but he gave up a leadoff double in the first inning before a pair of groundouts put the Cubs on the board. The southpaw then left a runner on third before leaving the game in the fifth inning, and a home run with one out in the frame put Gomber in line for the loss. Gomber should begin the 2021 campaign in the starting rotation since he's posted a 1.59 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 12:2 K:BB over 11.1 innings during his first four starts this spring.

Tosses three scoreless innings Gomber gave up three hits and two walks while striking out five over three scoreless innings in Wednesday's spring win over the Padres. He didn't factor into the decision.

Impact Gomber continued to perform at a high level during his third spring start Wednesday. He gave up a pair of walks to load the bases with two outs in the third inning, but he struck out Tommy Pham swinging to end the inning. The southpaw recorded a strikeout with each of his four pitches against San Diego, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. Gomber is the clear favorite to win a back-end rotation role with the Rockies to begin the year after allowing five hits and two walks while striking out eight over seven innings during his first three Cactus League starts.

Sharp once again Gomber allowed one hit and no walks while striking out two over two scoreless innings in Friday's spring loss to the Brewers. He didn't factor into the decision.

Impact Gomber mainly threw fastballs during Sunday's Cactus League opener, but he focused more on his off-speed pitches against Milwaukee on Friday. Even though he changed his approach Friday, the southpaw had similar success and only allowed one baserunner via a one-out single in the first inning. Gomber said that he wants to combine his fastball and off-speed command in future spring outings while building up his arm strength and pitch count. The 27-year-old has limited major-league experience, but he's impressed so far during spring training while competing for a back-end rotation spot with his new club.

Gomber ends the regular season with a 1.86 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 27 strikeouts over 29 innings across 14 appearances (four starts). If he makes the playoff roster, he'll most likely work as a reliever capable of handling multi-inning assignments if necessary.
