Impact Originally scheduled to get the start Wednesday, Gibson instead found himself used as a primary pitcher when manager Joe Girardi decided to hold him back due to the threat of bad weather, and he didn't enter the contest until after a 57-minute rain delay prior to the third inning. The ploy backfired when the right-hander gave up the first runs of the game in the top of the fourth, putting the Phillies in a hole they couldn't climb out of. Gibson has been a steadying force on the staff since being picked up at the trade deadline, posting a 3.18 ERA over his first three outings for Philly, but his 1.41 WHIP and 11:9 K:BB through 17 innings are worrying.
