Twins pitcher Kyle Gibson had a rough outing Friday against the Rays.
Gibson gave up six runs on nine hits over 6 1/3 innings. He struck out one and walked one during the outing. Gibson ran into trouble in the third inning. After giving up two hits and a walk to load the bases, Gibson gave up a bases-clearing double to Evan Longoria. Ben Zobrist struck in the fifth inning, hitting a two-run shot of Gibson. In the seventh, Gibson allowed a single before he was taken out of the game. The run came around to score, and was charged to Gibson.
The loss drops Gibson to 8-8 on the season. His next start is slated to come against the Indians.
