    Cubs' Kevin Gausman: Handed loss in Game 2

    Kevin Gausman took the loss after giving up three runs on five hits and no walks across 3.1 innings during Game 2 of the NL Wild Card Series against the Padres on Wednesday. He struck out one.The veteran right-hander surrendered two runs during the second inning and was pulled with one out in the fourth after allowing a double to Xander Bogaerts, who later came around to score on Gavin Sheets' two-run homer. Gausman finished the regular season pitching well with two runs allowed over exactly 5.2 frames in each of his last two starts, but his overall performance for the Chicago Cubs after being acquired from the Blue Jays at the trade deadline was underwhelming. Including the playoff start, he pitched in 10 games for Chicago and had a 5.03 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 58:11 K:BB across 53.2 innings. Gausman heads into free agency this winter after posting a 4.51 ERA in 32 regular-season starts in 2026, which is his worst mark since 2019.

He did not issue a walk.Gausman was dominant for most of his outing, retiring 16 of the first 18 hitters he faced as the Chicago Cubs built a 3-0 lead in the early stages of the game. His lone mistake came in the sixth, when Ronald Acuna smashed a two-run homer to cut Chicago's lead to one. Gausman then departed after recording the second out, and Daniel Palencia finished the inning before the Cubs' bullpen surrendered the lead in the later innings.
