Twins right-hander Kyle Gibson pitched to mixed reviews Friday against the Yankees. He threw only 58 percent strikes and fired first-pitch strikes to just eight of 17 batters. But he retired 10 of the last hitters he faced and yielded three earned runs and two walks in four innings.
The 26-year-old Gibson is battling for the last rotation spot. He had yet to give up an earned run this spring until Friday.
