Rockies' Austin Gomber: Goes eight innings in win

Gomber (5-10) earned the win over Atlanta on Thursday, allowing one run on five hits over eight innings while striking out six.

Gomber ran into trouble in the opening frame when he surrendered three hits, leading to one run coming home for Atlanta. However, the lefty would allow only two more hits from that point on while going eight innings for only the second time this season. Gomber produced five 1-2-3 innings on the night and logged his highest strikeout total since Aug. 2. He's now gone six or more frames in five consecutive starts, going 2-2 over that stretch while posting a 23:7 K:BB.
