Gibson did not factor into the decision in Thursday's Opening Day loss to the Royals after surrendering five runs on four hits and three walks while recording a strikeout for his only out of the start.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson just couldn't get things going. The veteran right-hander gave up back-to-back singles and three consecutive walks before finally sending Hunter Dozier down on strikes for his first and only out. Gibson was making his first Opening Day start against Kansas City, which happens to be the team he made his MLB debut against in 2013. The 33-year-old was hoping to turn it around after posting a rough 5.35 ERA last season, but this start highlights just how low his fantasy floor is. With the Blue Jays up next for him on Wednesday, things aren't set to get much easier.
