Gibson (5-7) tossed a complete game in Wednesday's win over the Braves. He allowed three runs on eight hits and three walks while notching six strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson needed a season-high 115 pitches to finish off his first career nine-inning complete game. The only runs he allowed were on two swings, a two-run homer in the third by Freddie Freeman, and a solo shot in the ninth given up to Nick Markakis. Working around the blemish in the ninth, Gibson struck out the side in the final frame to cement the night as his own. However, it's tough to put much stock in this game as an indicator of future performances for the 28-year-old. The Braves are the worst offense in baseball, and Gibson has been incredibly inconsistent all year, thus offering reason to pause before getting too excited about his big night in Atlanta.
