He got the win at Toronto on Sept. 13 before getting a no-decision, pitching eight scoreless innings last night against Boston. Gausman is 11-10 on the season.

Getting a shot to play, former Barbe star Gavin Cecchini went 3-for-4 with two RBI for the New York Mets in a 7-3 win at Atlanta on Sept. 16. Cecchini is batting. 224 in 25 games with two doubles, a home run and seven RBI for the Mets in 67 at-bats.

For the streaking Cleveland Indians, former LSU reliever Nick Goody has posted eight straight scoreless outings out of the bullpen, covering seven innings. In that stretch, Goody has allowed just two hits, striking out seven. He is 1-2 with a 2.58 ERA in 52 relief appearances.

Former Neville star Alex Presley of the Detroit Tigers homered, going 4-for-5 Tuesday night in a 9-8 loss to Oakland. Presley raised his batting average to .322 in 61 games played.
