Twins' Kyle Gibson: Turns in quality start in no-decision versus O's
Gibson (3-6) pitched six innings, allowing two runs on nine hits while striking out six in a no-decision Thursday against the Orioles.
Analysis:
Gibson's quality start was ruined by the throw-back performance put on by Orioles' starter Ubaldo Jimenez (five innings, one run and eight K's). For the first time all season, Gibson did not issue a free pass. The 28-year-old struck out six-plus for the fifth time in his last six starts, something the righty hadn't done in any of his first seven starts in 2016. Although he's having a down season compared to the last two, Gibson has pitched better of late and has the potential to make a significant impact as we near the fantasy playoff season.
