CAREER NOTES

LAST TIME OUT: Recorded his second consecutive win, throwing 6.0 scoreless innings on four hits with two walks and one strikeout in the Twins 13-0 win against Oakland May 6...he allowed six baserunners, but held the A’s to 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position...the Twins offense broke open a scoreless tie with four runs in the third inning...here are more notes from his start: • Gibson has won consecutive games for the first time since last September 17 and 23

when he beat the Tigers and Diamondbacks at Target Field...this marks the fifth time in Gibson’s career he has won back-to-back starts...with a win tonight, he would tie his career-long winning streak (3; 4/5-17/14).

• Gibson has not allowed a run in 17.0 innings, last doing so on a Logan Morrison RBI ground out in the 4th inning of his April 26 start at Seattle...the current scoreless inning streak is the longest active streak in the majors, and the second longest of Gibson’s career...he didn’t allow a run over 22.0 innings from June 2-18, 2014, the fifth longest streak in club history, and the fifth longest for an AL starter last season (Chris Young - 18.0 IP)...the outing was Gibson’s 10th scoreless start of his career.

• In three starts at Target Field, Gibson is 3-0, and has allowed just one run in 20.2 in-nings (0.44 ERA) with three walks and eight strikeouts...three of his four quality starts on the season have come at home...on the road, Gibson has a 6.32 ERA (15.2 IP, 11 ER) with 12 walks to only three strikeouts.

NO INBETWEEN: The Twins have won 23 of Gibson’s 47 career starts...in those 23 games, Gibson has 18 wins, a 1.81 ERA (149.1 IP, 30 ER), 43 walks and 84 strikeouts...he has given up just three home runs in the Twins last 18 wins when he has been on the hill, a span covering 123.2 innings...in the 24 losses the Twins have in his career outings, Gibson has an 8.28 ERA (117.1 IP, 108 ER), 49 walks, 63 strikeouts, and has taken the individual loss in 18 of those outings.

GROUNDED: Gibson has induced 66 ground balls this season, tied for the sixth most in the AL...opponents have hit into eight double plays with Gibson on the hill this year, tied for the most in the majors...his 2.28 ground ball/fly ball ratio is seventh best in the AL, while his 53.2 ground ball percentage is 10th highest (teammate Mike Pelfrey’s 58.3 mark is tied for fourth)...in fact, since the start of last season, Gibson’s 2.32 ground ball/fly ball ratio is eighth highest in all of baseball.

TOO EARLY FOR A HOMER: Gibson has allowed just two home runs this season (one of them to Detroit's J.D. Martinez April 9), a total that is tied for ninth fewest among all AL starters (minimum five games started)...last season, he did not allow a home run until his seventh start of the season, also at Detroit May 10 (Cabrera)...the 12 home runs he allowed all of 2014 were tied for the third fewest in the AL (minimum 170.0 innings pitched) and tied for the sixth fewest in baseball.

WALK THIS WAY: Gibson has walked 15 batters in 36.1 innings this season...he has three walks-or-more in three of his six starts, and 16 of his 47 career outings...the Twins have lost six of the last eight games in which Gibson surrenders at least three walks...the 15 walks on the season are tied for 10th most in the AL, and his 0.73 strikeout/walk ratio is the lowest in all of baseball.

AGAINST THE TIGERS: Gibson will be making his seventh career start against the Tigers, his most against any team, including his fifth at Comerica Park...in his only start vs. Detroit this season, April 9 at Comerica Park, Gibson took the loss, going 3.2 innings and allowing six runs on eight hits with a career-high-tying five walks and no strikeouts...he is 2-4 with a 7.04 ERA (30.2, 24 ER), 18 walks and strikeouts vs. the Tigers in his career...the 7.04 ERA is his highest mark against any AL Central opponent, and the fourth highest against any team he’s faced at least three times (LAA – 7.80 in three starts, NYY – 10.95 in three starts, TB – 9.98 in three starts)...Gibson’s only two career quality starts vs. Detroit came at Comerica Park (6/13/14: 7.0-5-0-0-2-3-0; 9/28/14: 7.1-4-3-3-6-1)...the active Tigers roster has hit .330 (30-for-91) against Gibson with seven extra-base hits, 12 walks and 14 strikeouts.

2014 RECAP: Gibson finished his first full major league season with a record of 13-12, the second most wins on the staff (Hughes - 16)..finished second in starts (31), innings pitched (179.9) and quality starts (15) and third in strikeouts (107).• Won each of his first three starts to become the first Twin since Livan Hernandez (2008)

to make the Twins starting rotation and begin the season with three consecutive victories...he became one of just three pitchers in Twins history to start the season with a record of 3-0 while posting a sub-1.00 ERA, joining Bill Krueger (1992) and Fransisco Liriano (2006).

• Recorded a career-high eight strikeouts twice: June 18 vs. Boston and September 23 vs. Arizona.
