Gilbert didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 8-4 extra-innings win over the Blue Jays, giving up two runs on seven hits and two walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out nine.
While the right-hander continues to pile up strikeouts, his dominance is coming at the cost of some efficiency. Gilbert has failed to last six innings in four straight starts, getting an early hook in this one after 102 pitches (68 strikes), including 19 swinging strikes. Gilbert will take a 2.63 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 41:6 K:BB through 27.1 innings -- but only one win and one quality start in five outings -- into his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Marlins.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Picks up first win of 2025
Rotowire
Gilbert (1-1) allowed one run on three hits and a walk while striking out seven in five innings in a win over the Rangers on Sunday.
Gilbert had to work hard to get through the first two frames, needing 46 pitches to do so. His one big mistake came in the second inning after allowing a solo home run to Dustin Harris. Gilbert went on to retire 12 of the next 13 hitters following the long ball. He's allowed a home run in three of four starts thus far but also has allowed just 11 hits while punching out 32 batters in in 22.2 innings. Gilbert will look to continue his success in a road start versus Toronto this coming weekend.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Takes no-hit bid into sixth inning
Rotowire
Gilbert didn't factor into the decision Monday against Houston after allowing one run on one hit and two walks in 5.2 innings, striking out seven.
Although he wasn't able to make it through six innings despite throwing 99 pitches, Gilbert took a no-hit bid into the sixth frame before Jose Altuve took him deep to break it up. Gilbert was also in line for the win Monday, but the Astros took a temporary 3-2 lead in the eighth before the Mariners climbed back in front in the bottom of the frame. The 27-year-old right-hander boasts a 2.55 ERA, 0.62 WHIP and 25:3 K:BB across 17.2 innings (three starts) ahead of his next scheduled start this weekend at home against Texas.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Racks up 10 Ks in loss
Rotowire
Gilbert (0-1) took the loss Tuesday as the Mariners were downed 4-1 by the Tigers, giving up three runs on five hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out 10.
Detroit got its hits in bunches, while Seattle managed only one hit the entire night off Casey Mize and the Tigers' bullpen -- a leadoff single by Victor Robles in the first inning. Gilbert was still dominant despite the lack of run support, generating 22 swinging strikes among his 92 pitches. The right-hander has an eye-popping 18:1 K:BB through his first 12 innings of 2025, and he'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Astros.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Fans eight in no-decision
Rotowire
Gilbert didn't factor in the decision Thursday against the Athletics after striking out eight and giving up one run on two hits and no walks over seven innings.
The right-hander kept the A's off the board aside from a solo homer by Tyler Soderstrom in the fifth inning, as Gilbert and Luis Severino engaged in a pitcher's duel before the two bullpens combined to allow five runs across the seventh and eighth innings. Gilbert consistently worked ahead in the count and threw a first-pitch strike to 22 of the 23 batters he faced. He's established himself as one of the most reliable starters in MLB and could contend for the AL Cy Young Award in 2025, especially if he can improve even slightly on his 3.23 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 220:37 K:BB across 208.2 innings from last year.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Shaky start in exhibition play
Rotowire
Gilbert gave up two runs on two hits and two walks in Saturday's Cactus League game against the Cubs, striking out three in 1.2 innings.
Gilbert served up two home runs, one off the bat of Pete Crow-Armstrong and another to Miguel Amaya in the second inning. In three Cactus League starts, Gilbert holds a 6.75 ERA and 1.50 WHIP with eight punchouts over 5.1 innings. The 27-year-old right-hander received the first All-Star nod of his career and led MLB in WHIP (0.89), innings pitched (208.2) and starts (33) in the 2024 regular season, and Gilbert's spot atop Seattle's rotation should carry even more importance while George Kirby (shoulder) is shut down from throwing.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Inks contract for 2025
Rotowire
Gilbert agreed to a one-year, $7.625 million contract with the Mariners on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
The right-hander led MLB with 208.2 innings last season and had a 3.23 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 220:37 K:BB as he made a career-high 33 starts. Gilbert picked up just nine wins despite his strong performance, but he has quickly established himself as one of the more reliable pitchers in baseball with a 3.60 ERA in 121 starts through his first four big-league seasons.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Solid showing in no-decision
Rotowire
Gilbert didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's win over the Rangers, allowing four earned runs on six hits, a walk and a wild pitch over six innings. He struck out seven.
The right-hander allowed at least four runs for the fourth time in the last six starts, with two-run home runs by Leody Taveras and Marcus Semien in the third and fifth innings, respectively, accounting for the damage. On the brighter side, Gilbert was able to continue generating plenty of swings and misses, notching 15 whiffs among his 97 pitches while extending his streak of starts with at least six Ks to eight outings. Gilbert pushed his career-high strikeout total to 198 as well with Saturday's production, and he'll once again aim for his eighth victory in a projected road rematch with the Rangers on Friday night.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Strikes out nine in no-decision
Rotowire
Gilbert did not factor into the decision in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Athletics, allowing four runs on four hits and one walk with nine strikeouts over six innings.
Gilbert generated an impressive 16 whiffs on 95 pitches but was burned by a four-run third inning that included a three-run homer by Shea Langeliers. The 27-year-old righty has been inconsistent since the All-Star break, logging five quality starts while yielding 17 total earned runs in his other three outings. On the season, he owns a 3.19 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 181:32 K:BB across 177.2 innings and next lines up to face the Cardinals this weekend.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Stuck with loss in quality start
Rotowire
Gilbert (7-9) took the loss Friday, giving up four runs (three earned) on five hits and two walks over 6.1 innings as the Mariners fell 5-3 to the Pirates. He struck out six.
The right-hander delivered his third straight quality start and MLB-leading 20th of the season on 96 pitches (58 strikes), but it took a Cal Raleigh throwing error on a stolen-base attempt by Michael Taylor in the fifth inning to keep him under four earned runs. Through three outings in August, Gilbert has posted a 1.86 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 19:3 K:BB through 19.1 innings, and he'll look to keep rolling in his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come on the road next week against the Dodgers.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Allows four runs in loss
Rotowire
Gilbert (5-5) took the loss against the Orioles on Wednesday, allowing four runs on six hits and three walks over 5.1 innings while striking out six.
Three of the four runs charged to Gilbert came across in the third inning when he walked two of the first four batters he faced, and he then surrendered three consecutive two-out hits. The right-hander gave up a solo shot to Ryan O'Hearn in the fifth, marking the first time he's given up four or more runs in his last six outings. Gilbert had gone at least six innings in nine consecutive starts coming into Wednesday's loss, while the three walks were the most he's issued since May 14 against the Royals, which covers a span of nine starts.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Takes no-decision Friday
Rotowire
Gilbert allowed two runs on four hits and struck out three without walking a batter over six innings in a no-decision versus the Twins on Friday.
Gilbert had posted back-to-back starts of eight shutout innings, so this was a small step back. It was an improvement on his previous start versus the Twins, in which he allowed a season-high eight runs over four innings in Minnesota on May 9. Since that start, Gilbert has completed at least six frames in each of his last nine outings, earning eight quality starts in that span. He's at a stellar 2.72 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 102:21 K:BB over 112.1 innings across 17 outings this season. Gilbert's lined up for a tough matchup versus the Orioles in his next projected start.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Goes eight scoreless frames again
Rotowire
Gilbert (5-4) earned the win over Miami on Saturday, allowing four hits and one walk while striking out six batters over eight scoreless innings.
Gilbert's superb stat line was just a tad less impressive than in his previous outing, when he allowed two hits and struck out nine over eight scoreless frames against Texas. The right-hander has been on a roll throughout June -- he's tossed four quality starts in four outings this month while posting a 1.21 ERA over 29.2 innings. Perhaps most impressive is Gilbert's 28:1 K:BB over that span.
Gilbert (4-4) earned the win Sunday, allowing two hits and no walks with nine strikeouts over eight scoreless innings against Texas.
Gilbert generated 21 whiffs Sunday, punching out eight batters for the fourth time this season while blanking the Rangers. The 27-year-old has now gone deeper than six innings in three straight starts and has walked merely one batter across his last 33.2 innings. He's tied with Corbin Burnes and Tanner Houck for the league lead with 12 quality starts and paces MLB with 98.1 innings pitched. Gilbert is lined up for a start in pitcher-friendly LoanDepot Park next weekend.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Fans eight in no-decision
Rotowire
Gilbert allowed three runs on six hits and no walks while striking out eight batters over 6.2 innings in a no-decision against the White Sox on Monday.
Gilbert got through five scoreless frames before Luis Robert tagged him for a two-run homer in the sixth. The righty hurler returned for the seventh and gave up another run on a pair of hits before being pulled with two outs. Though he faded over his final two innings, Gilbert tied his second-highest strikeout total of the campaign and finished with his fifth quality start over his past six outings. However, he hasn't earned any victories over that stretch despite posting a solid 3.52 ERA.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Receives little help in loss
Rotowire
Gilbert (3-4) allowed two runs (one earned) on five hits and struck out five without walking a batter over seven innings, but he took the loss Wednesday versus the Athletics.
Gilbert can be partly to blame for this loss, as his throwing error on a pickoff attempt put Daz Cameron in position to score on a passed ball in the fifth inning. The Mariners' lack of offense was the other problem, which led to Gilbert taking his fourth loss in his last six outings. He's turned in a quality start in four of those games despite the lack of wins. The right-hander is at a 3.12 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 76:20 K:BB through 83.2 innings over 13 starts this season. Gilbert is projected for a favorable home matchup versus the last-place White Sox his next time out.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Another quality start Saturday
Rotowire
Gilbert gave up one run on three hits over six innings in a no-decision against the Nationals on Saturday. He struck out four without walking a batter.
Gilbert allowed a run in the second inning on a couple singles, a stolen base and a sacrifice fly, but that was the extent of the damage. While his efforts weren't rewarded with a win, Gilbert continued his run of strong pitching with a third consecutive quality start since his eight-run hiccup in Minnesota on May 9. Gilbert is tied with Jose Berrios and Seth Lugo for the most quality starts in baseball this season with nine in 11 turns to date.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Turns in quality start
Rotowire
Gilbert allowed three runs on eight hits and a walk over six innings in a no-decision Monday. He struck out one during the win over the Yankees.
Gilbert coughed up two runs in the first inning but was still able to settle in for a quality start. He produced a stellar 1.69 ERA through his first seven starts but has seen that climb to 3.20 after allowing 14 runs over his last 16.2 frames. On the bright side, two of those outings were quality starts. Gilbert recorded only one strikeout with five whiffs, with both setting new season lows. His next start is lined up to be in Washington this weekend.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Strong until late homer
Rotowire
Gilbert (3-2) allowed three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out seven over 6.2 innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Royals.
Gilbert allowed just four baserunners over the first six innings. He went back out for the seventh, but two walks and a Nelson Velazquez home run ended his outing in unfortunate fashion. It's a significant improvement on the eight-run fiasco he had in Minnesota in his last start, but it's still a second straight loss for 27-year-old. He's pitched to a 3.07 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 61:18 K:BB over 58.2 innings across nine starts this season. Gilbert is projected for a tough road start versus the Yankees his next time out.
