Twins right-hander Kyle Gibson continued a remarkably consistent, if unspectacular, run Saturday in Milwaukee. His last four starts have proven nearly identical.
There was one difference against the Brewers. This time he won.
Gibson allowed two runs on six hits in 6 2/3 innings with one walk and three strikeouts. He pitched either five or six innings in his previous three outings and surrendered between 2-4 runs.
His latest start was marred only by RBI singles from Adam Lind in the fourth inning and Ryan Braun in the seventh that knocked him out of the game. His first win since May 24 raised his record to 5-6.
Gibson induced 12 ground balls that produced 13 outs. That proved encouraging.
"That's his game," Paul Molitor told MLB.com. "We talked before the game about being more aggressive. He gets a lot of ground balls with his downward movement, especially with his sinker."
