Twins pitcher Kyle Gibson picked up his first win of the season Wednesday, giving up one earned run on nine hits in 6 2/3 innings while striking out three and walking none in his team's 3-1 victory over the Royals.
Despite surrendering nine hits, Gibson (1-1) didn't allow an extra-base hit in the game, and the Royals were only able to eek out a run in the fourth inning before the starter departed.
"If I can limit `em to singles and allow the defense to do some work behind me, that's going to be big for me," Gibson said after the game, per the Associated Press.
He takes a 6.10 ERA and 3:5 K:BB ratio into Monday's rematch with the Royals.
