Gibson (10-11) was bombarded for six runs on seven hits (two of them homers) in just 2.2 innings against the Indians on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

He managed to record five of his eight outs via whiff, but that's a small silver lining on a dark cloud of a start. Gibson had put together consecutive quality starts prior to Thursday, but his inconsistent control and pitch-to-contact ways have conspired to make him a risky fantasy roll despite an ERA that's been hanging around in the threes nearly all season long. At 3.96 now, it's at its highest point since late April.

Gibson will start Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader with the Angels, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Friday's game was postponed due to rain, and instead of just moving Mike Pelfrey back to start Game 1 of the twin bill, the Twins will start Gibson in Game 1 and Pelfrey in Game 2.

Gibson gave up one run over 7.2 innings with seven strikeouts and one walk in Sunday's win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

After giving up 16 walks in 34 innings in August. Gibson has better control in September with a 15:6 K:BB ratio in 21.2 innings which has resulted in a 3.39 ERA during the month.

Gibson took a complete game loss Tuesday against the Royals as he allowed four runs on six hits and two walks over eight innings. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

Gibson served up four runs on four hits and two walks in the first inning. He was stellar afterwards, giving up just two hits over seven shutout innings, but the Twins couldn't catch up for him. Still, Gibson has just three quality starts in his past 10 starts and has seen his ERA jump from 2.85 to 3.87 in that span.

Gibson allowed three runs on five hits over six innings Thursday against the White Sox, striking out four in a no-decision.

EDGE Analysis

He threw 67 strikes versus 30 balls and didn't walk a batter, which is nice, but Gibson also threw a pair of wild pitches. He'd issued 10 free passes in his last three starts, so the control improvement is promising, but Gibson's pitch-to-contact ways and more-than-occasional walk issues make him a mediocre fantasy option at best.

Gibson (9-9) was sharp on Friday, as he allowed four hits and three walks across 5.2 scoreless innings while striking out four in a 3-0 win over Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Gibson has been quietly effective this season as he now has a 3.82 ERA in 26 starts. The problem for Gibson is his inconsistency, as his last 13 starts have been extremely volatile. In nine of those 13 starts, he has allowed two runs or less while in the other four starts, he has allowed six runs or more. The strikeouts have also been down as of late, as he's only struck out four batters or less in six of his last seven starts. Gibson is hard to trust for standard mixed leagues, but he's a solid streamer in the right spot. Gibson will host the White Sox in his next start on Thursday.

Gibson was excellent Sunday against the Tigers, allowing just one unearned run in seven innings while striking out six to earn his fourth consecutive win. The 27-year-old allowed an early run following a Tigers error, but was able to shut the door the rest of the way as the Twins cruised to a 7-1 victory. Gibson was a pleasant surprise for the Twins as well as fantasy owners in the fist half of the season, with a 2.85 to go along with an 8-6 record. His next start will come after the All-Star break although it has not been scheduled at this time.

Gibson gave up two runs on six hits and one walk with seven strikeouts Tuesday against the Orioles. The seven strikeouts were one shy of his season high, and he has now allowed two runs or fewer in each of his last four starts. One of the best things about Gibson's season is that he has gone at least five innings in 16-straight outings, and he has pitched six-plus innings in 12 of those. His FIP (4.18) is naturally much higher than his 3.04 ERA entering play Tuesday, and this is due to a well below-average 15.5 percent K-rate and a fortunate .267 BABIP. Gibson should still be useful in mid-sized leagues over the rest of the season, but now is the time to try to sell high.

Gibson will pick up two starts this week, namely Tuesday against the Orioles and Sunday versus the Tigers, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. After a disastrous outing to begin the season -- six earned runs in 3.2 innings -- Gibson has gone to work whittling down his peripherals, recording 10 quality starts in 15 contests in the interim. Overall, he's notched career bests across the board, while striking out a modest 5.81 batters per nine innings.

Gibson (6-6) struck out seven and gave up four hits and four walks in eight scoreless innings in a win over the Royals on Thursday. Gibson won his second straight start after having gone a stretch in which he lost three in a row. He lowered his ERA to 3.04, and he'll look to lower it even more when he goes for his third straight win in his next start Wednesday against the Orioles.
