Kyle Gibson - Takes loss despite solid effortGibson (3-2) took the loss after allowing two runs on eight hits across 5.2 innings during Thursday's 2-0 loss to the Padres. He recorded seven strikeouts and zero walks.
ImpactGibson clearly didn't have his best stuff, but he was able to minimize the damage for the most part. Regardless, the Padres were still able to strike for two runs in the fourth after leading off the inning with three straight singles, which ended up being the difference in the game. Gibson's seven strikeouts were his highest since recording 10 during his first start of the campaign and certainly a bounce back from his season-low one in his last appearance. His next start is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday's matchup in Atlanta.

Taylor Rogers - Notches 15th saveRogers earned the save after allowing zero runs on one hit and one walk across 1.1 innings during Thursday's 2-0 win over the Phillies. He struck out two.
ImpactRogers entered with two outs in the eighth and allowed a two-out single to Kyle Schwarber that put runners on first and third. The left-hander closed the door on the Phillies' rally by getting Nick Castellanos to ground into a fielders choice. Rogers worked around a two-out walk in the ninth to notch his third multi-inning save and his 15th total of the season. The offseason acquisition has been nearly perfect for the Padres to start the season, blowing just one save in 16 attempts while sporting a 20:3 K:BB.

Yu Darvish - Earns win after seven shutoutDarvish (4-1) earned the win after allowing zero runs on six hits across seven innings during Thursday's 2-0 win over the Phillies. He struck out five and didn't record a walk.
ImpactDarvish bounced back from a rough outing in his last start to register his third appearance of the season with at least six shutout innings. The right-hander allowed back-to-back singles with one out in the sixth, but that was the most danger he faced all game. His next start is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday's contest against Milwaukee.
