Twins pitcher Kyle Gibson (11-11) whiffed nine batters over six shutout innings Wednesday in a win over Cleveland. He allowed four hits and two walks.
He still puts too many men on base and doesn't generally strike out enough, but this has been something of a breakout season for Gibson. The Twins have four games left, so it's not impossible that he draws another start on the season's last day if a playoff berth is on the line, but it seems more likely that Gibson's regular season is over.
If so, he'll wrap it up with a 3.84 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 145:65 K:BB over 194 2/3 innings -- not spectacular numbers by any stretch, but still those of a relatively stable mid-rotation starter.
