Gabbard's night over

After allowing a two-out double to Marlon Byrd, Kason Gabbard's night is over after 5 2/3 innings. He allowed three runs on three hits but once again struggled with his pitch placement, walking four batters. Of his 100 pitches, just 53 were strikes.

In his last start, against Seattle, Gabbard walked six men in 3 1/3, including four walks (and a hit batsman) in the first inning alone.

He is being replaced by Mike Timlin, who has struggled since returning to the bullpen after coming off the disabled list.
