Gabbard had a sub-par performance, earning a no decision, and lasted only 3​⁄3 innings allowing 4 runs on 6 hits while walking six and striking out two. Gabbard performed well in his third start of the season on July 2, 2007, allowing three runs on three hits while walking four and striking out five, earning the win.

On May 8, 2008, in a game against the Seattle Mariners, Gabbard was charged on the mound by Seattle’s Richie Sexson. Sexson threw his batting helmet at Gabbard after Gabbard’s head-high pitch towards Sexson. Sexson later stated he was frustrated and had a lot going on in his head, including his club’s recent struggles. Sexson was suspended six games for the incident; a successful appeal lowered the suspension to five games.

Gabbard Made the Ranger debut on the 2nd of August, 2007 with the Cleveland Indians. Gabbard was suspended to the bench after the Indians defeated the Indians 5-1. A little more than three weeks later, on the 22nd of August, Gabbard was the winning pitcher in a game in which the Rangers beat 30-3 against the Baltimore Orioles 30-3, the most runs scored in one game in modern times.
