CAREER NOTES

LAST START: Gibson was the winner in his last start September 19 vs. Detroit opposite David Price, allowing four runs on seven hits with three walks and three strikeouts in 6.0 innings pitched...he earned his first win since August 13 at Houston, a span of five starts between wins (0-2)...his 12 wins this season are second most on the Twins behind Phil Hughes (15).

AGAINST THE D-BACKS: He is making his first career start against the Diamondbacks tonight...he is 0-4, 7.59 ERA (21.1 IP, 18 ER) with five walks and nine strikeouts in four career starts against National League opponents.

LUCKY NUMBER 13: Gibson is seeking his 13th win tonight, which would make him one of 23 AL pitchers to reach 13 wins and one of two Twins (Hughes - 15)...the last time the Twins had at least two pitchers with 13-plus wins was in 2010 when Carl Pavano (17), Francisco Liriano (14) and Kevin Slowey (13) each did it.

GOING TO WORK: Gibson has pitched 165.0 innings this season, the most of his career (minor league or major league), here are his previous top four inning totals for a season: 152.2 for Minnesota and Triple-A Rochester in 2013 // 152.0 for Rochester, New Britain and Ft. Myers in 2010 // 95.1 for Rochester in 2011. **limited to 28.1 innings in 2012 due to "Tommy John" surgery on right elbow.**

GET INTO THE SIXTH: Gibson is 11-3, with a 2.27 ERA (123.0 IP, 31 ER) with 29 walks and 63 strikeouts in 18 starts (13 quality starts) this season when he pitches 6.0-or-more innings (29 starts), compared to 1-8, 11.57 ERA (42.0 IP, 54 ER) with 25 walks and 30 strikeouts in 11 starts when not pitching into the sixth inning.

WINNING IN STYLE: Gibson has a 1.43 ERA in the 12 games he has won this season only allowing 13 runs on 62 hits with 24 walks and 48 strikeouts...10 of the 62 hits allowed are extra base hits (8 - 2B, 2 - HR)...10 of the 12 wins are quality starts.

ZEROS ACROSS: Gibson has posted eight starts this season where he didn't allow a run (29 starts)...during those starts he is 5-0 with 12 walks and 35 strikeouts...Twins are 6-2 during those starts.

GIBBY'S GROUNDED: Gibson has posted a ground ball percentage of 56.2 which is third best in the AL and highest among Twins starters...he has induced 305 ground balls (702 batters faced).

GIBSON STREAKING: Gibson posted a 22.0 scoreless inning streak from the sixth inning June 2 through in the first inning June 24 at Los Angeles-AL.

ELIAS SAYS...: Gibson pitched 8.0 innings and did not allow a run in his victory against the Blue Jays on April 17 (Game 1)...he won each of his first three games for the Twins this season and was sporting a 0.93 ERA, having given up only two earned runs in 19.0 innings...since the original Washington Senators relocated to Minnesota in 1961, the only other Twins pitchers to win their first three starts of a season while posting an ERA below 1.00 were Bill Krueger in 1992 (0.75 ERA) and Francisco Liriano in 2006 (0.56 ERA).
