Gilbert improved to 2-0 on the season in Tuesday's 4-0 victory over the Rangers, striking out six over 6.2 scoreless innings while allowing two hits and issuing four walks.
ANALYSISGilbert surpassed six innings pitched for the fourth time in five starts this season, notching his first scoreless outing of the campaign. He battled issues with command and walked a pair of batters in the first, but he otherwise kept himself out of danger. He was removed from the contest with runners on first and third, but he was saved by
Ryne Stanek, who forced
Leody Taveras into an inning-ending groundout. Gilbert has posted four quality starts this season and boasts the most innings pitched (33.2) of anybody with fewer than six starts. He's scheduled for a Sunday start against Arizona.
