Austin Gomber has quietly become the Rockies’ stopper.
With the rest of Colorado’s projected rotation on the injured list, Gomber delivered big-time in Colorado’s 7-2 victory over the Yankees Friday night. He mostly shut down the New Yorkers for six innings and quieted their fans, who made up the bulk of the sellout crowd of 47,865 at Coors Field.
“But when you see success and you have good games and when you start stacking them and have a couple of good ones in a row, and you give up a double to start the sixth, and it’s just like, ‘OK, next guy up.’ There are no negative thoughts like, ‘This is going to go bad.’ I’m in a place where I trust what I’m doing.”
“It was a slider, mistake pitch,” said Bryant, who hit his seventh homer of the season, this one coming off reliever Michael King. “You want insurance runs right there. It was an all-around good game and a good way to start the second half.”The Rockies were 3-7 in their last 10 games coming into the series, including a 1-4 road trip before the All-Star break. The Yankees, mired in fourth place in the American League East, are just six games above .500 with a 49-43 record.
But those were the only runs Gomber gave up. He limited the Yankees to six hits, struck out two, and didn’t walk any. The lefty, whose season started off so rocky, has been excellent of late. He’s won each of his last four starts — the first time in his career he’s won four consecutive starts — posting a 3.00 ERA while striking out 12 and walking only two. The homer Gomber served up to Stanton was just his second allowed over that span.
