There was exactly one month between his 4th and 5th home runs on the year, and there are just 11 total extra-base hits to his name.

In the two starts, Romero has allowed just one baserunner to reach third base, and even that was with two outs in the inning.

Such numbers are unheard of around these parts.
Now, first, a little context: as you're probably aware, swings and misses are off the charts throughout baseball.

Gibson&#x2019;s best season by most statistical accolades was the 2015 campaign. In his age-27 season, Gibson posted a 3.84 ERA and a 1.28 WHIP. Minnesota was a surprise second-place finisher in the AL Central that season and Gibson played a large role in the club&#x2019;s improvement.
