Throws three innings mid-game Gilbert allowed two hits over three scoreless innings in Tuesday's spring training game against the Rangers. Impact Gilbert, who is vying for the final spot in the rotation, entered the game in the fifth inning and turned in a strong outing. He needed just 33 pitches to get those nine outs. "He gets very quick, easy outs, looks like he controls counts, a lot of weak contact," manager Torey Lovullo told Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic. "He's out of the middle of the zone and missing barrels. I thought he threw the ball really well." The left-hander made his MLB debut in 2021 and threw a no-hitter against the Padres in his first major-league start. Gilbert pitched well over the final six weeks, posting a 3.47 ERA and 1.018 WHIP but had just 5.0 K/9.
