Luis Gil getting chance to shake off Yankees struggles against Reds
NY Post
Just over two weeks ago, Luis Gil had a 2.03 ERA and was in the conversation to head to Arlington, Texas for the All-Star Game later this month.
Then came an implosion against the Orioles, when the right-hander allowed seven runs, while retiring just four batters.
And instead of quieting fears in his next outing, the 26-year-old then got pounded by the Mets at Citi Field, when he gave up five runs in 4 ¹/₃ innings.
Aaron Boone acknowledged there was “a little bit” of thought to either pushing back Gil’s next start or skipping it entirely.
Instead, Gil will look to right himself Tuesday against the Reds in The Bronx.
Boone said the team believes Gil is in a “pretty good spot” physically and will already be pitching with an extra day’s rest for a third straight outing, due to the team’s off days.
