Astros sweep Dodgers at Dodger Stadium for first time since 2008 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Christian Walker, Yainer Diaz and Jose Altuve each homered, Ryan Gusto threw six strong innings, and the Houston Astros b...
Contains Dodgers for sixth win Gusto (6-3) allowed one run on four hits and one walk to pick up the win in Sunday's contest against the Dodgers. He struck out one.
Impact The Houston right-hander was favored over Colton Gordon to start the series finale at Los Angeles. Gusto impressed in this 80-pitch appearance, generating a solid 13 whiffs despite striking out just one. The only blemish on his outing came in the second inning via a Dalton Rushing RBI double, as Gusto notched his second quality start of the season. Given this remarkable performance against the league's top scoring offense, the 26-year-old is likely to garner another turn in the rotation before the All-Star break. If Gusto continues to start, his next outing would line up to come against the Rangers at home next weekend.

Starting Sunday Gusto will start Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact It seems like Gusto may have a leg up on Colton Gordon, who was the other candidate to start Sunday. Gusto has a 5.33 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, two wins and 29:4 K:BB in 25.1 innings over his last five starts. He has done well at limiting walks and racking up Ks (seven-plus strikeouts in three of his last four starts), but Gusto has given up four homers in his last three starts. He could get a final first-half start next weekend against the Rangers if he sticks in the rotation past Sunday.

Struggles with power Gusto (5-3) picked up the win Sunday against the Angels, allowing five runs on six hits and no walks over six innings. He struck out seven.
Impact Gusto surrendered a pair of homers during his start, yielding a two-run home run to Logan O'Hoppe in the fourth inning and a three-run shot to Nolan Schanuel in the fifth. Gusto was solid outside of the pair of round trippers and didn't issue a walk for the first time since his April 18 start against San Diego. He's now logged at least seven strikeouts in three straight starts after having not posted more than 6 Ks in an outing previously. He's on track to face the Cubs next time out.

Strikes out eight in no-decision Gusto allowed one run on three hits and one walk while striking out eight batters over five innings in a no-decision against the Athletics on Monday.
Impact Gusto got through four scoreless innings before serving up a solo shot to J.J. Bleday in his fifth and final frame. That lone run was enough to prevent the right-hander from earning a win, but he nonetheless impressed in one of his best outings this season. Gusto racked up a career-high eight punchouts and induced 12 whiffs while throwing 59 of 87 pitches for strikes. He's registered an outstanding 15:2 K:BB while allowing only three runs over 11 frames across his past two starts.

Moving up to start Monday Gusto will move up a day to start Monday against the Athletics, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Impact Gusto's next turn had been scheduled for Tuesday, but he'll take the ball a day earlier as a replacement for the injured Lance McCullers (foot). The right-handed Gusto last pitched Wednesday, so he will be starting on a normal four days' rest and is set for a second start later this week versus the Angels.

Registers first career QS Gusto (4-3) earned the win over the White Sox on Wednesday, allowing two runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out seven batters over six innings.
Impact Gusto got plenty of run support, as Houston held a 7-0 lead through four innings. The right-hander gave up a pair of runs in the fifth, but he capped his outing with a scoreless sixth to record his first career quality start. Gusto also racked up a career-high seven strikeouts and notched 11 whiffs. He's settled into a rotation spot with several Houston starters dealing with injuries, and Gusto's next start is projected to be a road matchup against the Athletics.

Falls to the Pirates Gusto (3-3) took the loss Wednesday against Pittsburgh, allowing three runs on eight hits and two walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out three.
Impact Gusto's final line ultimately could have looked a lot worse, as the Pirates got multiple men on base in each of the first three innings. The 26-year-old Gusto has failed to make it out of the fifth inning in three consecutive starts. His ERA sits at 4.78 with a 1.64 WHIP and 45:21 K:BB across 43.1 innings. Despite his struggles, Gusto could remain in a starting role while the Astros deal with numerous injuries in their rotation. He tentatively lines up for a home matchup with the White Sox next week.
