Twins starting pitcher Kyle Gibson ran his scoreless innings streak to 22 with seven scoreless frames Wednesday at Boston. However, unlike in his previous two scoreless starts, he didn't earn the win Wednesday in a no-decision, as Boston pitcher John Lackey was equally impressive with nine scoreless innings.
Gibson allowed just one hit Wednesday, and it didn't come until Daniel Nava's two-out double in the fifth inning. The right-hander didn't walk a batter and struck out a season-best eight, while lowering his ERA to 3.25.
Gibson has not allowed a run in four of his last five starts. He's expected to make his next start Tuesday against the Angels.
