What are Dodgers doing to reverse Tony Gonsolin's struggles?

LA Times  

Tony Gonsolin walks back to the mound after giving up a two-run home run to Houston’s Jose Abreu in the fourth inning of the Dodgers’ 6-5 loss in 11 innings Sunday at Dodger Stadium. “I think we’re always kind of searching and trying to figure out what we can do,” Roberts said, “but he’s a guy we certainly count on to go deeper in a game.” Gonsolin said he felt fine and didn’t want to come out after five innings. “It just didn’t seem like today his stuff had a whole lot of teeth,” Roberts said. Roberts had said before Sunday’s game that he felt “really good” about Gonsolin because he had gotten extra rest since his previous start, but that feeling wasn’t an accurate predictor.
