Gsellman (2-2) allowed two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out six over 5.1 innings, but took the loss against the Braves.
Gsellman gave the Mets another decent start Tuesday, but he was outdueled by Atlanta ace Julio Teheran. The young right-hander has now gone at least five innings allowing four runs or fewer in each of his five starts, never eclipsing 100 pitches in the process. That solid stretch has given Gsellman a 3.13 ERA over 31.2 innings, and potentially a chance to finish the year in the Mets rotation with Jacob deGrom slated to undergo arm surgery later this week.
