Kevin Gausman Takes Mound For Cubs In Must-Win Game 2 Against Padres

Chicago Cubs right-hander Kevin Gausman is set to make his first postseason start with the club in a must-win Game 2 of the NL Wild Card Series against the San Diego Padres at Petco Park. Tasked with staving off elimination following an 8-0 loss in Game 1, Gausman feels ready despite dealing with a left non-throwing shoulder injury during his final regular-season start. Acquired midseason from the Blue Jays, he went 9-12 with a 4.51 ERA overall and a 4.83 ERA in nine late-season starts.
