Gilbert gave up two runs on two hits and two walks in Saturday's Cactus League game against the Cubs, striking out three in 1.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Gilbert served up two home runs, one off the bat of Pete Crow-Armstrong and another to Miguel Amaya in the second inning. In three Cactus League starts during exhibition play, Gilbert holds a 6.75 ERA and 1.50 WHIP with eight punchouts over 5.1 innings. The 27-year-old right-hander received the first All-Star nod of his career and led MLB in WHIP (0.89), innings pitched (208.2) and starts (33) in 2024, and Gilbert's spot atop Seattle's rotation should carry even more importance while George Kirby (shoulder) is shut down from throwing.

Gilbert agreed to a one-year, $7.625 million contract with the Mariners on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander led MLB with 208.2 innings last season and had a 3.23 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 220:37 K:BB as he made a career-high 33 starts. Gilbert picked up just nine wins despite his strong performance, but he has quickly established himself as one of the more reliable pitchers in baseball with a 3.60 ERA in 121 starts through his first four big-league seasons.

Gilbert (9-12) allowed one hit and struck out seven without walking a batter over 5.2 scoreless innings to earn the win Sunday over the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Gilbert was perfect into the sixth inning before Nick Allen hit a two-out single to end his day. Gilbert ends the regular season as the major-league leader in innings pitched with 208.2, two ahead of Kansas City's Seth Lugo. While he alternated between good and poor starts in September, Gilbert was generally one of the steadiest members of a strong Seattle rotation. He finished the campaign with a 3.23 ERA, led all major-league starters with a 0.89 WHIP and added a 220:37 K:BB over 33 starts, though he missed the 10-win mark for the first time in three years.

Gilbert (8-12) allowed four runs on five hits and a walk while striking out six over six innings to take the loss versus the Astros on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

This was just the fifth time all year that Gilbert gave up multiple home runs, as the Astros were able to tag him for three of them. Over five starts in September, Gilbert has allowed 16 runs over 31.1 innings, including eight homers, despite a 41:6 K:BB. He's now at a 3.33 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 213:37 K:BB through 203 innings over 32 starts this season. He is not currently projected to pitch again in the regular season, though he would be on regular rest if the Mariners have anything to play for in their last game Sunday versus the Athletics.

Gilbert (8-11) earned the win Thursday, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks over 5.1 innings against the Yankees. He struck out nine.

EDGE Analysis

Gilbert was afforded an early three-run lead then held the Yankees in check, with the only damage coming by way of a two-run homer in the third off the bat of Jazz Chisholm. Gilbert's whiff of Giancarlo Stanton to end the first gave him 200 on the season, marking the first time in Gilbert's four-year career he's reached the 200-strikeout milestone. He ended the day with nine strikeouts, one shy of matching a season high. Gilbert is set up to make two more starts this season, with his next one slated to take place in Houston against the first-place Astros.

Gilbert didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's win over the Rangers, allowing four earned runs on six hits, a walk and a wild pitch over six innings. He struck out seven.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander allowed at least four runs for the fourth time in the last six starts, with two-run home runs by Leody Taveras and Marcus Semien in the third and fifth innings, respectively, accounting for the damage. On the brighter side, Gilbert was able to continue generating plenty of swings and misses, notching 15 whiffs among his 97 pitches while extending his streak of starts with at least six Ks to eight outings. Gilbert pushed his career-high strikeout total to 198 as well with Saturday's production, and he'll once again aim for his eighth victory in a projected road rematch with the Rangers on Friday night.

Gilbert (7-11) took the loss Saturday versus the Cardinals, throwing a complete game (eight innings) in which he allowed two runs on two hits, a walk and a hit-by pitch while striking out 10.

EDGE Analysis

Gilbert was just about at his best Saturday, but a hit batsman and a Pedro Pages two-run home run in the eighth inning sent him to the unlucky loss. This was Gilbert's fifth quality start in seven outings since the start of August. He's covered eight innings on four occasions this year, though this was his first complete game of the campaign. The 27-year-old is now at a 3.15 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 191:33 K:BB through 185.2 innings over 29 starts this season. Gilbert is projected to make his next start at home versus the Rangers.

Gilbert did not factor into the decision in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Athletics, allowing four runs on four hits and one walk with nine strikeouts over six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Gilbert generated an impressive 16 whiffs on 95 pitches but was burned by a four-run third inning that included a three-run homer by Shea Langeliers. The 27-year-old has been inconsistent since the All-Star break, logging five quality starts while yielding 17 total earned runs in his other three outings. On the season, he owns a 3.19 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 181:32 K:BB across 177.2 innings and lines up to face the Cardinals on Saturday.

Gilbert tossed six scoreless innings while allowing just four hits and striking out 10 without a walk in Tuesday's loss to the Rays. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Gilbert dominated the Rays, posting his second scoreless start this month and seventh of the season. It was also his first time this year with double-digit strikeouts. Gilbert's night was over after 97 pitches and his strong effort was spoiled the very next inning after JT Chargois gave up a two-run blast to Jose Siri. Gilbert owns an impressive 3.09 ERA, 0.90 ERA and 172:31 K:BB in 171.2 innings and lines up to face the Athletics on Monday as part of a projected two-start week.

Gilbert (7-10) took the loss against the Dodgers on Wednesday, allowing eight runs (six earned) on seven hits and two walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out seven.

EDGE Analysis

Gilbert retired the first eight batters he faced in the contest before a fielding error from Leo Rivas caused the first runner to reach for the Dodgers. The right-hander would then allow a two-run double to Mookie Betts before surrendering another six runs over the next two frames. It marked Gilbert's shortest outing this month after previously going at least six innings in three straight starts. He's now lost five of his last six starts, posting a 4.89 ERA over that stretch to go along with a 38:6 K:BB.
