The result was five runs, three earned, and nine hits in 3 2/3 innings of an 8-6 loss to the Twins. That number dropped to 55 per cent over his next three and it dipped to 32 per cent with the Twins. The Twins’ unwillingness to offer at the splitter meant Gausman essentially had to abandon it. Gausman had thrown his splitter 36 per cent of the time entering Sunday; that dropped to 22 per cent against Minnesota. “You have to keep competing, you have to keep making pitches,” Gausman said.
