It’s been an elevator season for Gomber. Up and down. After a bad start, he began pitching well, but then had a tough outing in Kansas City his last time out, tossing a season-low 2 2/3 innings. He allowed two runs on six hits while throwing 74 pitches. The lefty faced the Padres once this season, in the season-opening series at San Diego. He took the loss, allowing three runs on four hits across six innings. Gomber is 2-2 with a 2.41 ERA in 10 career games (six starts) vs. the Padres. Darvish responded to a bad start against the Yankees with an ace-like performance vs. the Cubs in his last start. He allowed two hits and a walk while striking out nine over seven shutout innings. Darvish has not pitched well vs. Colorado, going 3-4 with a 5.37 ERA over 11 career starts.
