July 25, 2021 3:03 AM : Gibson (6-3) suffered the loss against Houston on Saturday, pitching six innings and allowing three runs (two earned) on four hits and eight walks while striking out four.
Analysis: Remarkably, Gibson managed to notch his 13th quality start of the campaign despite struggling mightily with his control throughout the contest. The right-hander threw only 48 of 104 pitches for strikes, hit one batter and more than doubled his single-game season-high mark with eight free passes. Houston took advantage of Gibson's wildness for three runs across the first three innings but was unable to push across any additional scores in the following three frames. The veteran hurler has lost each of his past three decisions, struggling to a 7.79 ERA and 1.96 WHIP over that stretch. He'll try to get back on track next weekend, when he is projected to make his next start at home versus Seattle.
