'This is my job, whatever it takes': Kevin Gausman reflects on his mom's career while pitching Giants to Labor Day win “She’s the perfect example of a nurse because she really cares about people," Gausman said of his mom who recently retired after 44 years.
Logs another quality start Gausman (13-5) picked up a win after tossing seven innings of three-run ball while giving up five hits, walking one and striking out nine against the Rockies on Monday.
Impact The 30-year-old was effective in this one while limiting the Rockies to only three runs at the challenging venue of Coors Field. Ryan McMahon and Garrett Hampson each hit solo home runs off the veteran and Charlie Blackmon tripled in the other run charged to Gausman in the start. Gausman has now rattled off eight consecutive starts where he has surrendered three or less runs, picking up four wins along the way. He is expected to start next on Saturday in Chicago against the Cubs.

Fans seven across five frames Gausman didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Brewers after tossing five innings of two-run ball, allowing four hits and a walk while fanning seven.
Impact Gausman gave up a two-run single to Lorenzo Cain in the second inning, but he was excellent the rest of the way. While he finished three outs away from posting another quality start, it's worth noting that Gausman has given up three or fewer runs in each of his last seven appearances while pitching at least five frames in five of those contests. He owns a career-best 2.52 ERA and 1.01 WHIP through 157 innings on the season.

Quality start in no-decision Gausman allowed two runs on six hits and struck out two over six innings versus Atlanta on Friday. He walked none and he did not factor in the decision.
Impact Gausman spent a few days on the COVID-19 injured list with vaccine side effects, but he seemed to be feeling just fine while throwing 62 of his 91 pitches for strikes. This was Gausman's first quality start since Aug. 4, as he failed to meet the six-inning requirement in each of his last three outings. The right-hander has a 2.49 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 176:46 K:BB through 152 innings this season. He lines up for another challenging matchup versus Milwaukee next week.

Impact Gausman was placed on the COVID-19 list Tuesday because of vaccine side effects, but there was never really a doubt that he would be able to make his scheduled start Friday. With him back on the active roster, Chadwick Tromp was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento.

Struggles versus rival A's Gausman allowed five runs (two earned) on six hits and a walk with five strikeouts in 3.2 innings in a no-decision versus Oakland on Saturday.
Impact It was another unconvincing start for Gausman, as a costly first-inning error by Wilmer Flores ultimately allowed three unearned runs to score. Gausman also gave up a run on a wild pitch in the fourth prior to Jarlin Garcia relieving him. Through 146 innings, Gausman has posted a 2.47 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 174:46 K:BB across 25 starts, but he's given up 22 runs (18 earned) in his last 31.1 innings since the All-Star break. He'll look to get back on track in a tough road matchup in Atlanta during next weekend's three-game series.
