Logan Gilbert Sharp In No-Decision Wednesday
8 months agoSeattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert was excellent in his third start of the season on Wednesday, a 6-1 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. While he did not factor into the decision, the 26-year-old tossed six scoreless frames before allowing a solo blast to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to lead off the seventh inning, then continued to work into the eighth inning before being pulled with two outs in the frame. The young righty allowed six hits and walked just one while striking out eight batters. Despite giving up four earned runs and three homers in his last outing, his BB:K was still good (1:7), and through three starts he's got a sterling BB:K of 3:23. The 23 strikeouts are second-most among pitchers so far, behind only Tyler Glasnow with 29 (Glasnow struck out 14 in his last start alone). Gilbert should be a solid fantasy asset this season and will take a 2.66 ERA along with a 0.84 WHIP into his next start, which is expected to be Tuesday in Seattle versus the Reds and Hunter Greene.
