Gilbert (3-3) surrendered seven runs (five earned) on seven hits and a walk while striking out four in a loss to the Yankees on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Gilbert's night got started with a 38-pitch first inning during which the Yankees put three runs on the board off a couple of singles, a walk and an error by Eugenio Suarez. The right-hander was unable to really get going from there and wound up allowing a three-run homer to Anthony Volpe in the third and a solo blast to Greg Allen in the fourth before his day was done. Tuesday was just the second time this season Gilbert has given up multiple homers and failed to reach five innings in a start. His four strikeouts also tied his season low. Still, the 26-year-old currently owns a 6.6 K/BB, and he seems to be getting a bit unlucky as he has a 3.14 FIP in comparison to a 4.08 ERA. Gilbert's 0.98 WHIP ranks third in MLB, and he'll look to get back on track next week in a road matchup with the Padres.
