Phillies' Kyle Gibson: Earns sixth win
Rotowire
Gibson (6-4) allowed two earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out four across six innings to earn the win Wednesday against Atlanta.
Gibson served up a two-run homer to Matt Olson in the sixth inning to spoil a potential scoreless appearance. He otherwise dominated the Atlanta lineup, generating 13 of his outs via groundout or strikeout. Gibson has turned in three quality starts in his last four outings, but he has surrendered five or more earned runs in three of his last six starts. He's been similarly inconsistent throughout the season, which has led to a 4.60 ERA with an 84:31 K:BB across 107.2 innings.

Rotowire
Gibson (personal) was placed on the restricted list ahead of Tuesday's series opener against the Blue Jays.

Rotowire
Gibson did not factor into the decision against the Cardinals on Saturday, allowing six runs on seven hits while striking out two and walking two over four innings.
Gibson threw 53 of 84 pitches for strikes across four frames, striking out just two batters in the process. This six-run game comes after he allowed five earned runs in 2.2 innings in his last appearance. The righty allowed four home runs in a row to Cardinals batters in the first inning, one of which was a two-run homer, and had another run attributed to him after Corey Knebel allowed a bases-loaded walk in relief. Gibson will take a 4.91 ERA into his next appearance.

Phillies' Kyle Gibson: Inefficient Sunday
Rotowire
Gibson allowed five runs on four hits, three walks and two hit-by-pitches while striking out in 2.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Sunday.
Gibson threw only 34 of his 61 pitches for strikes in a wild and ineffective start that saw the Phillies in an early hole. They were able to get out of trouble with strong work from the bullpen, including long reliever Nick Nelson's 3.1 perfect innings, and a surge in offense in the latter half of the game. Gibson's been generally solid as a back-end starter, posting a 4.48 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 68:23 K:BB across 80.1 innings this year, so it appears this was just a hiccup for the veteran right-hander in his shortest outing of 2022. He'll look to get back on track next weekend in a home start versus the Cardinals.

One inning later he gave up another run. It marked the second straight start and fourth time in his last nine in which Gibson didn't hand out a single free pass.

The veteran right-hander put together one of his most impressive performances of the year, tossing an efficient 89 pitches (63 strikes), but Gibson left the mound on the hook for his third loss until Garrett Stubbs launched a walkoff homer in the ninth inning.
