Ryan Gusto: Everything you need to know

Gusto pitched four innings in his start, allowing no runs three hits and one walk while striking out four in the win against the Diamondbacks on Wednesday. After working as a more traditional starter at Triple-A prior to his call-up last Tuesday, this was Gusto's longest outing in the majors so far. Gusto suffered his first loss last start, serving as an opener for two innings, he pitched very well in this start as he threw 45 of his 66 pitches for strikes. The rest of the Marlins pitching staff was able to complete the shut out versus Arizona.

Gusto is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks in Miami. After being recalled Triple-A Jacksonville last Tuesday, Gusto pitched two innings out of the bullpen later that day in a 7-3 win over the Nationals. The Marlins then tabbed Gusto to fill the open spot in their rotation Friday, but because he was pitching on just two days' rest, he served as more of an opener and made just a two-inning start in a 6-0 loss to the Rays. Tyler Phillips piggybacked Gusto in long relief in that game, but the Marlins could look to separate the two pitchers during this upcoming turn through the rotation. Gusto had been working as a more traditional starter at Triple-A prior to his call-up, turning in a 1.20 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 21:3 K:BB in 15 innings over his final three appearances for Jacksonville.

Gusto (0-1) took the loss against the Rays on Friday, allowing three runs on three hits and one walk while striking out one batter in two innings. Gusto made his first start of the season Friday, but it was a rough outing for the 27-year-old right-hander. He gave up all three of his runs in the first inning and tossed 33 pitches before turning the keys over to Tyler Phillips in the third. Unfortunately for Gusto, he was unable to avoid the loss, as his Marlins teammates were limited to just two hits and a walk in a shutout. He has given up six runs across his two outings since being called up from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.
