Bullpen blows potential win Gibson allowed one run on five hits and three walks while striking out seven over 5.2 innings in a no-decision against Seattle.
Impact Gibson wasn't at his best, but he scattered baserunners and left after 110 pitches with Texas ahead, 3-1, one out shy of his 13th quality start. The lone blemish was Jake Fraley's fifth-inning home run, the seventh long ball allowed over 95.2 innings (0.7 HR/9). Gibson brings a 1.98 ERA into his next start, which lines up to be Wednesday at home against Detroit.

Remains undefeated Gibson (5-0) gave up two runs on five hits and three walks over 5.1 innings Monday, striking out three and earning a win over Oakland.
Impact It wasn't Gibson's sharpest outing but he managed to pick up his second win of the month, largely due to his offense's five-run outburst in the first inning. He held Oakland off the board until coughing up a solo shot to Sean Murphy in the fifth. It was Gibson's seventh straight start throwing at least five innings and allowing two or fewer runs, lowering his season ERA to 2.17. The 33-year-old is projected to face the Royals at home this weekend.

Strong start spoiled Gibson allowed one run on seven hits and one walk while striking out three over six innings and did not factor into the decision in a 6-3 extra-inning loss to Houston on Tuesday.
Impact Gibson quelled the Astros' powerful lineup through five shutout innings before getting nicked for a run in the sixth. He left with a 2-1 lead and was one strike away from his fifth win of the season, but reliever Josh Sborz blew the save in the ninth. Gibson has one win and six no-decisions over his last seven starts, posting a 2.03 ERA over 44.1 innings during that stretch. The right-hander is expected to kick off a series against Oakland on Monday.
