Twins pitching prospect Kyle Gibson made his major-league debut Saturday, and he lived up to the hype in a 6-2 win over the Royals.
Gibson tossed six strong innings in the outing, earning his first major-league win easily thanks to some early run support. Gibson set the Royals down with ease in the top of the first, and by the time he took the mound again he had a 5-0 lead.
Gibson allowed two runs in six innings of work, on eight hits and no walks. He threw 64 of of 91 pitches for strikes in the outing.
Gibson is set to make his next start Thursday against the Yankees.
