Gibson struck out six and walked two in a no-decision against the Blue Jays on Tuesday, allowing two runs on five hits in five innings.

EDGE Analysis

Gibson shut out the Blue Jays into the fifth, but allowed a home run to Kendrys Morales and an RBI single to Justin Smoak to tie up the game. Gibson has tallied a decision in only two of his six starts so far, while holding a respectable 3.38 ERA and 1.28 WHIP. The strikeout numbers have been a pleasant surprise from the 30-year-old, as he's currently sporting a 10.1 K/9, well above his career mark of 6.4 K/9. It remains to be seen if Gibson can maintain those numbers over the long haul. His next start will come against the White Sox in Chicago.

Gibson allowed just one hit and three walks across six scoreless innings Thursday against the Yankees. He struck out 10 batter, but didn't factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Gibson shut down a difficult Yankees lineup in what was easily his best outing of the season. His 10 strikeouts were a career-high, and the 30-year-old now owns an impressive 10.0 K/9 to go with his 3.33 ERA through his first five starts. Gibson certainly deserved to win the contest after exiting with a three-run lead prior to the seventh inning, but the Twins' bullpen coughed up four runs over the final three frames of the game to help the Yankees prevail, forcing the veteran to settle for a no-decision. He'll look to keep things rolling in his next start, which will come against the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

Gibson (1-1) took the loss against the Rays on Saturday, allowing four runs on five hits and a walk over 6.1 innings while striking out seven.

EDGE Analysis

He threw 58 of 85 pitches for strikes and generated 16 swinging strikes, but Gibson was also hit hard when Tampa hitters were able to make contact -- he served up a two-run homer to C.J. Cron in the second inning, then got chased from the game in the seventh after back-to-back extra-base hits by Joey Wendle and Wilson Ramos. Gibson will take a 4.29 ERA into his next start, a tough road matchup Thursday against the Yankees.

Gibson allowed five runs on seven hits and four walks through 4.1 innings in a no-decision Wednesday against the Astros. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

Gibson struggled early and often Wednesday, allowing multiple baserunners to reach in every inning he appeared in but one. The real damage against Gibson came in the fifth inning, as the right-hander allowed four of the first five batters he faced to reach base before being yanked. All four baserunners would score, with two coming in after he handed the ball to Trevor Hildenberger. Gibson has now failed to make it out of the fifth inning in consecutive starts after tossing six scoreless innings in his 2018 debut. He'll look to get back on track in his next start, which is scheduled for Tuesday against the Indians.

Gibson allowed two runs (one earned) on seven hits and one walk while striking out three across 4.1 innings Thursday against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Gibson wasn't able to follow up his impressive season debut with an equal performance, but this was far from a disaster outing. He induced only four swinging strikes--down from 17 in his first start-- but kept the Mariners without any extra-base hits and surrendered only one walk. If he can continue to limit home runs and walks--both of which have held him back in past seasons-- he could take the step forward that many have expected of him.

Gibson (1-0) threw six hitless innings Saturday in Minnesota's 6-2 victory over the Orioles. He walked five and struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

Ryan Pressly grabbed the baton in the seventh and held the combined no-no through 7 2/3 innings before a Jonathan Schoop single broke it up. Despite throwing 102 pitches and logging only 56 strikes, Gibson danced around trouble -- and had a bit of help from a fantastic catch by Eddie Rosario -- to minimize damage as he reminded fantasy players of his brilliant second half last season (3.76 ERA, 8.2 K/9, 2.6 BB/9 across 76.2 innings) that sprung from some adjustments to his approach. With this gem piled on top of his strong spring training work, which included a 3.55 ERA with nine strikeouts and one walk in four starts, Gibson likely will pique the interest of many fantasy waiver-wire miners for this weekend's moves. Despite his rough past (4.70 career ERA), he may have brighter days ahead, even if walks continue to hold him back a bit.

Gibson continued his strong spring by giving up just one run over five innings Thursday to lower his ERA to 1.80.

EDGE Analysis

Gibson has seven strikeouts and no walks in ten innings this spring. He'll begin the season as the fourth starter but will move to the fifth starter role when Ervin Santana returns from a finger injury a month or so into the season. Gibson' spring could be a carryover from the second half of last year when he went 7-3 with a 3.76 ERA and increased his strikeouts from 5.6 K/9 to 8.2 K/9,

Gibson threw two scoreless innings and allowed no hits with no walks or strikeouts in his spring debut Sunday against Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Gibson is competing for one of the final two rotation spots this spring, but looks like a lock given his strong second half (4.6 BB/9 to 2.6 BB/9 and 5.6 K/9 to 8.2 K/9). However, he still had an unremarkable 5.07 ERA overall last season (identical to his 2016 ERA). Gibson has always had good groundball rates (50.8 percent last season) so if his command gains are legitimate, he could carry that second-half success over in 2018.

Gibson lost his arbitration hearing Thursday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

With the Twins emerging victorious, Gibson will now earn $4.2 million in 2018 rather than the $4.55 million figure he filed for. The 30-year-old posted an unremarkable 5.07 ERA last season (identical to his 2016 ERA), but he went 10-3 with a much more respectable 3.76 ERA in 13 second-half starts. His second-half success can likely be attributed to his improved walk and strikeout rates following the All-Star break (4.6 BB/9 to 2.6 BB/9 and 5.6 K/9 to 8.2 K/9). Gibson should enter the season in the Twins' rotation, and he could pick up where he left off in 2017 if his gains are legitimate.

Gibson lasted just 3.2 innings and allowed three runs on seven hits with six strikeouts in a no-decision Friday against Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Gibson had completed at least six innings for seven straight starts before struggling to find a rhythm Friday night. The Twins kept his winning streak alive at six decisions, and he was nasty at times, but Tigers hitters punished every mistake he made. Despite Friday's hiccup and his 5.07 ERA, Gibson has earned a spot in Minnesota's playoff roster with his otherwise excellent work down the stretch.
