The Atlanta Braves have now won four straight games after beating the Miami Marlins on Friday night and now sit with a 4-3 record behind Kevin Gausman's masterful 7 inning, 2 hit performance.
Gausman was aquired by the Braves in 2018 in a deadlne deal for four minor leaguers. Gausman has always had great major league stuff, but in his 5.5 years in Baltimore he only posted a sub 4 ERA twice. However, in the ten starts he made for the Braves after the 2018 trade, he went 5-3 with a 2.87 ERA. After starting the 2019 season on the 10-day IL with shoulder tendonitis, Gausman's stellar showing on Friday night shows that he may be ready to take the next step in his big-league career and help lead the Braves back to another National League East title.
Host of Braves LIVE! on Fox Sports Southeast Jerome Jurenovich joined Chris Goforth and Harper Label on Saturday to talk about Gausman's performance, the Braves rough start, and the new $100 million dollar man Ronald Acuna.
