Gibson gave up four earned runs over 6.1 innings with eight strikeouts and one walk, but got a no-decision in Friday's win over Kansas City.

EDGE Analysis

Gibson had a season high in strikeouts in his last start which at least offers some hope for next year after a disappointing year. Gibson was expected to improve this season to become a reliable starter at the top of the rotation, but instead took a step back as both his walk rate and strikeout rates were worse than last year. He finishes the season with a 5.07 ERA and 4.75 FIP. It will be interesting to see if he still fits prominently into Minnesota's plans for the rotation once a new GM is hired in the offseason.
