Gibson threw six scoreless innings with eight strikeouts and no walks in a win over Pittsburgh on Saturday, lowering his spring ERA to 1.53 in the process.
Gibson's strong spring continues as he has 19 strikeouts in 17.2 innings. He had just a 6.7 K/9 last season, which was a career high in the majors. His spring strikeouts could point to continued improvement in his strikeout rate this season.
