Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher, Robert Gasser, had to be disappointed to learn that he’d start the season in the minors and not with the Big League club on Opening Day. However, on May 17, the Brewers required his services and called him up from the minors and slotted him into the rotation.

Unfortunately, the joy of being promoted lasted all of one week as on May 24, Gasser was sent back to the minors. It wasn’t just because he lost his last start to the Los Angeles Dodgers but rather how the southpaw suffered defeat. Over 4.1 innings, he allowed four hits, four walks, and three earned runs, but even more noteworthy is that Gasser reportedly tipped his pitches, which allowed the Dodgers to tee off of him.
