Gasser earned the win in Game 3 of the World Series at Tampa Bay on Monday, giving up just one hit with three strikeouts and one walk across six scoreless innings.
Yandy Diaz crushed a 115.5-mph single to open the bottom of the first inning for the Rays, but Gasser didn't allow another hit and faced the minimum 18 batters through six frames thanks to a caught stealing and a groundball double play. The rookie left-hander has been Milwaukee's best starting pitcher during the playoffs, as he's surrendered just one run with a 9:3 K:BB over 15 innings.

Brewers' Robert Gasser: Delivers five shutout frames
Rotowire
Gasser didn't factor into the decision in Game 3 of the NLCS against the Dodgers on Wednesday, allowing just three hits and one walk with three strikeouts over five scoreless innings.
The rookie left-hander certainly wasn't dominant, but he kept Los Angeles off the board by scattering three singles, a walk and a hit-by-pitch. Gasser didn't have a long leash and was pulled at 72 pitches (47 strikes), but that's not a major surprise in just his second postseason start. He's now surrendered only one run with a 6:2 K:BB across nine frames in those two outings, cementing his spot as the Brewers' No. 3 starter as they sit one win away from the World Series.
Gasser will start Game 3 of the NLCS versus the Dodgers on Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Gasser will move in front of Dustin May in the Brewers' rotation order after logging four frames of one-run ball in Game 4 of the NLDS against the Padres. The left-hander posted a 2.86 ERA and 60:21 K:BB over 63 innings covering 11 starts and one relief appearance in the second half of the regular season. Gasser is likely to be opposed by Blake Snell, though the Dodgers have yet to officially name a starting pitcher for Game 3.

Brewers' Robert Gasser: Fires four strong innings
Rotowire
Gasser didn't factor into the decision in Game 4 of the NLDS against the Padres on Wednesday, giving up a run on three hits with three strikeouts and a walk over four innings.
The left-hander threw 40 of 56 pitches for strikes as he held San Diego in check, with the only damage against him being a solo homer from Fernando Tatis. It was Gasser's first playoff start after making two relief appearances during the postseason last year. This performance should be more than enough to solidify his place in Milwaukee's rotation for the NLCS, with him likely lining up to start Game 4 in Los Angeles.

Brewers' Robert Gasser: Nets Game 4 start
Rotowire
Gasser will start for the Brewers on Wednesday in Game 4 of the NLDS against the Padres, Sophia Minnaert of Brewers.tv reports.
Gasser hasn't pitched in a game in nearly two weeks, but he was terrific down the stretch of the regular season for Milwaukee, posting a 1.67 ERA and 31:12 K:BB over 32.1 innings covering his final six appearances. The left-hander is stretched out to handle a normal starter's workload, but it wouldn't be a surprise if the Brewers' bullpen is heavily involved in the gameplan for Game 4.
Brewers' Robert Gasser: Fans nine in dominant outing
Rotowire
Gasser didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Cardinals after allowing one run on a hit and a walk while striking out nine over six innings.
Gasser dominated St. Louis for most of his outing, with the Cardinals' only hit against him coming on Ivan Herrera's solo home run in the fourth inning. However, the bullpen wasted his strong start and ultimately erased Gasser's chance to close out the regular season with a win. It remains to be seen whether Gasser will be part of the Brewers' rotation in the NLDS, but the third-year veteran posted strong numbers in his first full season as a major-league starter. In 21 appearances (20 starts) and 109.1 innings, Gasser delivered a 3.87 ERA and 1.19 WHIP while posting a 103:35 K:BB.

Brewers' Robert Gasser: Blanks O's in fifth win
Rotowire
Gasser (5-5) picked up the win Saturday, allowing three hits and three walks over seven scoreless innings in a 1-0 victory over the Orioles. He struck out two.
Baltimore got runners to third base twice against Gasser, including a bases-loaded, one-out situation in the sixth inning, but both times the southpaw escaped without taking any damage. It was his fifth quality start of the season and first since Aug. 14, and his 107 pitches (64 strikes) were a career high. Gasser will take a 4.01 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 94:34 K:BB through 103.1 innings into his final outing of the regular season, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Cardinals.

Brewers' Robert Gasser: Goes five frames in no-decision
Rotowire
Gasser didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Reds, allowing a run on three hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out five.
Gasser was sharp Sunday, as he held the Reds scoreless through five innings before he was ultimately charged for one run after Elly De La Cruz led off the sixth with a single. While Gasser has failed to make it through six innings in any of his last five starts, he's held opponents to two runs or fewer in each of his last four outings, posting a 2.33 ERA across 19.1 innings in that span. Overall, Gasser sports a 4.30 ERA with a 1.27 WHIP and 92:31 K:BB through 96.1 innings this season. He's tentatively in line to face the Orioles on the road his next time out.

Brewers' Robert Gasser: Pulled short of five innings again
Rotowire
Gasser allowed one run on three hits and two walks while striking out five batters over 4.2 innings in a no-decision against the Cubs on Monday.
Gasser held Chicago scoreless through four frames before serving up a solo homer to Pedro Ramirez with two outs in the fifth. He then hit a batter and issued a walk before being given the hook by manager Pat Murphy. Gasser was at only 83 pitches at that point, but the Cubs had a pair of right-handed batters coming up, which may have influenced the decision to yank the lefty hurler. It was the fourth time over Gasser's past six starts that he failed to complete five frames, and he's pitched to a mediocre 4.40 ERA across 28.2 innings during that span. Gasser is slated for a home matchup against the Reds his next time out.

Gasser allowed just one hit through the first three innings before running into trouble in the fourth, when three consecutive batters reached to open the frame.

He owns a 4.57 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 82:27 K:BB across 86.2 innings this season and is slated for a rematch with the Cubs in his next start.

Brewers' Robert Gasser: Steps up after May's early exit
Rotowire
Gasser (4-5) earned the win Wednesday against the Mets, allowing one run on six hits and two walks while striking out six over 5.1 innings of relief.
The left-hander was called into action after Dustin May took a line drive off the back of his shoulder and exited just one pitch into the game. Gasser responded with a strong outing, throwing 59 of his 82 pitches for strikes while picking up his first win since July 25. Gasser has pitched well since the All-Star break, posting a 3.75 ERA with a 35:11 K:BB across 36 innings over seven starts. Manager Pat Murphy said Tuesday that Gasser would be available out of the bullpen this week against the Mets while being tentatively scheduled to pitch this weekend versus the Rangers, but his emergency appearance Wednesday will mean that his next turn through the rotation won't come until at least early next week versus the Cubs.

Brewers' Robert Gasser: Available in relief
Rotowire
Manager Pat Murphy said Tuesday that Gasser will be available out of the bullpen the next couple days versus the Mets, if needed, but remains lined up to start this weekend against the Rangers, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
The left-hander has surrendered at least three runs in each of his past three starts and has completed five frames in just one of those outings. It's been an up-and-down campaign for Gasser, who has a 4.79 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 72:23 K:BB across 77 innings this year. Regardless of when he next takes the mound, the 27-year-old is likely to get a couple starts in the near future since Milwaukee doesn't have its next day off until Sept. 10.

Brewers' Robert Gasser: Early hook in no-decision
Rotowire
Gasser did not factor into the decision in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Mariners, allowing four runs on four hits and four walks with four strikeouts over 3.2 innings.
Gasser was given a 6-0 lead in the first inning but was inefficient, throwing 46 of 77 pitches for strikes while matching a season-high four walks. It marked the second time the southpaw was unable to complete at least four frames in 15 starts this season and ended a streak of five straight outings where he allowed three earned runs or fewer. He'll take a 4.79 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 72:23 K:BB across 77 innings into a road matchup with the Mets next week.

Brewers' Robert Gasser: Strikes out seven in loss
Rotowire
Gasser (3-5) allowed three runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out seven over 6.1 innings to take the loss versus the Dodgers on Friday.
Gasser posted a quality start, but he was also tagged for solo home runs by Andy Pages and Tommy Edman. This marks the first time Gasser has allowed a long ball in his last four starts, and he's given up just nine runs over 22 innings in that span. For the season, he's posted a 4.54 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 68:19 K:BB through 73.1 innings over 14 starts. He's projected to make his next start in another tough matchup at home versus Atlanta next week.
Gasser took a no-decision against the Twins on Saturday, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks in 4.2 innings. He struck out three.
Minnesota did its damage in the second inning, plating each of its three runs on the evening to leave Gasser with a poor showing overall. The southpaw is beginning to lose his control a bit of late, walking multiple batters in back-to-back outings in August after issuing a lone free pass across his four July appearances. Gasser has a 4.57 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 61:18 K:BB over 67 innings, and he lines up for a difficult matchup versus the Dodgers his next time out.
