Ryan Gusto allowed two earned runs over five innings while striking out three, picking up the loss on Friday against the Dodgers.

Gusto made it through the first two innings without much trouble, but in the third inning he would allow back-to-back runners to reach base, and saw Tommy Edman come home to score on a sacrifice fly by Kyle Tucker to put the Dodgers up 1-0. Gusto would make it through the next three innings without allowing a run, but was pulled at the start of the seventh inning in favor of Victor Vodnik. Friday’s outing was one of the better ones this season for Gusto, and marks just the second time that he pitched six-plus innings while allowing two earned runs or fewer. His next start is scheduled for Wednesday on the road against the Diamondbacks.
