Gilbert (4-4) allowed three runs on four hits, a walk and a hit batsman while striking out eight over 5.1 innings to earn the win over the Mets on Tuesday.
Analysis:
Gilbert threw 66 of 99 pitches for strikes, though he also served up a pair of home runs to Carson Benge, which accounted for all three runs on his line. Gilbert has won his last two starts, and he's given up a total of 10 runs over his last 29.2 innings. The veteran right-hander is now at a 3.79 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 77:17 K:BB through 73.2 innings across 13 starts. Gilbert's on track for a career-worst year when it comes to allowing homers -- he's already given up 13 this season -- but he's otherwise remained a reliable arm for the Mariners. His next start is projected to be on the road versus the Orioles.
