Gibson won his fifth game of the season Saturday, giving up two runs on six hits and a walk over 6.2 innings, striking out three.
He lowered his ERA to 3.30 with the solid outing, but his mediocre 58:29 K:BB ratio in 92.2 innings suggests that Gibson may have a hard time keeping it below 4.00 going forward. His next start comes on Thursday in Kansas City.

Gibson was handed his sixth loss of the season Sunday as he allowed two runs on six hits and three walks in five innings against the Cubs.
The 27-year-old skated around a number of baserunners in his solid performance but had no chance to earn a win thanks to a dominant Jake Arrieta performance and a Twins bullpen implosion in what turned out to be a 8-0 loss. Gibson still holds a tidy 3.35 ERA through 86 innings and will face the struggling Brewers on Saturday.

Gibson held the Cardinals to three runs on six hits over six innings in a losing effort Tuesday afternoon.
A rain delay in the seventh inning ensured that his day ended after six frames, but Gibson pitched well enough to keep the Twins in the game against Cards starter Michael Wacha. He'll return home to face the Cubs on Sunday in his next scheduled start.

Gibson will start Friday at Boston with Tommy Milone set to be called up to start Thursday, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Gibson was set to start at Boston on Thursday or Friday after the Twins shuffled their rotation due to doubleheader, but the Twins will keep him on regular rest by starting Friday.

Gibson will start either Thursday in Boston or Friday against the Brewers, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
The Twins have a doubleheader with the Red Sox on Wednesday, and Ricky Nolasco (ankle) is looking unlikely to make Friday's scheduled start. There is thus a lot of uncertainty for Minnesota's rotation in the upcoming week, making Gibson an option for either Thursday or Friday.

He was able to minimize the damage against him thanks to three double plays, but Gibson struggled to find the plate through the first few innings and ran up his pitch count quickly. He'll look to sharpen his control in his next start on Thursday in Boston.
