Gibson allowed one run on five hits and three walks while striking out seven over 5.2 innings in a no-decision against Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson wasn't at his best, but he scattered baserunners and left after 110 pitches with Texas ahead, 3-1, one out shy of his 13th quality start. The lone blemish was Jake Fraley's fifth-inning home run, the seventh long ball allowed over 95.2 innings (0.7 HR/9). Gibson brings a 1.98 ERA into his next start, which lines up to be Wednesday at home against Detroit.

Gibson (6-0) earned the win Saturday against the Royals after tossing seven scoreless innings, giving up two hits and a walk while fanning 10.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson remains undefeated but delivered his best outing of the season thus far, striking out a season-high mark of 10 while posting his fourth scoreless outing of the campaign. In fact, the veteran hurler has given two or fewer runs in each of his last eight appearances, posting a 1.68 ERA in that span. He's expected to make his next start on the road against the Mariners next week.

Gibson (5-0) gave up two runs on five hits and three walks over 5.1 innings Monday, striking out three and earning a win over Oakland.
EDGE Analysis
It wasn't Gibson's sharpest outing but he managed to pick up his second win of the month, largely due to his offense's five-run outburst in the first inning. He held Oakland off the board until coughing up a solo shot to Sean Murphy in the fifth. It was Gibson's seventh straight start throwing at least five innings and allowing two or fewer runs, lowering his season ERA to 2.17. The 33-year-old is projected to face the Royals at home this weekend.

Gibson allowed one run on seven hits and one walk while striking out three over six innings and did not factor into the decision in a 6-3 extra-inning loss to Houston on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson quelled the Astros' powerful lineup through five shutout innings before getting nicked for a run in the sixth. He left with a 2-1 lead and was one strike away from his fifth win of the season, but reliever Josh Sborz blew the save in the ninth. Gibson has one win and six no-decisions over his last seven starts, posting a 2.03 ERA over 44.1 innings during that stretch. The right-hander is expected to kick off a series against Oakland on Monday.

Gibson allowed two runs on four hits, striking out five and walking two over six innings in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Giants. He did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
The righty has now achieved a quality start in 10 of his 12 starts this season, and has not yielded more than three runs in any outing since his opening day debacle. Gibson's 2.13 ERA, slightly inflated by Wednesday's performance, remains the lowest among qualified American League starters. With two off-days upcoming for the Rangers, Gibson is scheduled to start next Wednesday in Houston.

Gibson will not pitch against the Dodgers in Los Angeles next weekend, Sam Blum of the Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Rangers want to avoid having Gibson, who is coming off a groin injury, swinging the bat and potentially running the bases. As such, his next start will come after the weekend series in Los Angeles, which likely pushes him until the following Tuesday at Houston.

Gibson (4-0) earned the win Friday, giving up five hits while striking out five without walking a batter over 5.1 scoreless innings against Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson was activated off the injured list Friday and was on a pitch limit, per Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports. The right-hander threw 73 pitches, which is a bit more than the trainers recommended. The Rangers' ace lines up to pitch next Friday, kicking off a road trip against the Dodgers.

Gibson (groin) was activated off the injured list as expected ahead of his scheduled start Friday against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson wound up missing two weeks with a strained right groin. He was having a strong season prior to the injury, cruising to a 2.24 ERA and 1.01 WHIP through 10 starts, though it took a .234 BABIP to get him there. His 20.1 percent strikeout rate is above his career average (18.2 percent) but remains well below the league-average mark of 24.1 percent. Wes Benjamin was optioned in a corresponding move.
