It’s Kevin Gausman Day at Connolly’s Tap Room. Fake drafts for 39 cents for a limited time. A free shot if you turn in a pair of eyeglasses. It’s a new season for the no-longer bespectacled right-hander. He’s back after being shelved in spring training with shoulder tendinitis. Gausman was OK in...
