EDGE Analysis

Gilbert missed out on the victory as the Mariners didn't score until scratching across the lone run of the game in the bottom of the sixth. He still had an excellent performance and blanked one of baseball's top offenses without walking a batter while notching 18 swinging strikes. The 24-year-old had been struggling lately, allowing 19 runs over his last three starts, including nine runs in a start against the Astros on Aug. 21. Gilbert now owns a 5.14 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 101:20 K:BB over 91 innings for the season, and he's lined up for a road matchup against the Astros again next week.
