One of the few bright spots for the Minnesota Twins has been starting pitcher Kyle Gibson. The right-hander seemed to figure things out over the last two months of last season. That momentum has carried over into the 2018 season.
Gibson had a 3.55 ERA over his final 11 starts to close out the 2017 season and the Twins went 9-2 during those starts. Throwing strikes has been the biggest reason for his turn around. Gibson walked 45 over 94 2/3 innings pitched through his first 18 starts. However, over those final 11 starts, he walked only 18 while pitching 63 1/3 innings.
