Dodgers starter Tony Gonsolin continued his great start to the 2022 campaign, he pitched 6.1 innings of 1 hit baseball. He also struck out 6 and collected 15 swings and misses. Four of those whiffs came on his splitter, which has a run value of -7 and a .110 BAA on the season. Gonsolin’s ERA on the season is down to 1.42. Caleb Ferguson and Daniel Hudson both followed up Gonsolin’s 1 hit outing with their own zero hit outings.
