Joe Dennis Gilbert, born on April 20, 1952, is a former American baseball player. He was a pitcher in Major League Baseball (MLB). Joe played for the Montreal Expos team in 1972 and 1973.

Joe finished his MLB career with one win and one save. Both of these important moments happened in 1973. A win for a pitcher means his team won the game while he was pitching. A save means he helped his team win a close game by finishing it without letting the other team score much.

His only win came on July 4, 1973. He pitched in relief during a game against the New York Mets. A famous pitcher named Tom Seaver was also in that game. Joe's one save happened on May 5, 1973. He pitched the last part of the game, helping the Expos win 8-6 against the Cincinnati Reds.
