Gibbons then got through the final two innings giving up just one hit and no runs to preserve the win.

Gibbons said he just comes in to throw strikes and let hitters hit it to the defense, trying only to control the location and sinkability of his pitches to keep it on the ground. he credited catcher Mando Verdugo for working well with him on such plays.
