FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Right-hander Kyle Gibson struck out seven in 3 1/3 strong innings and Brian Dozier and Eddie Rosario homered to lead the Twins to a 9-4 win over the Red Sox on Wednesday night at Hammond Stadium.
Gibson, making his third Grapefruit League start, gave up one run on two hits and a walk before exiting with one out in the fourth inning after reaching his 60-pitch limit. The lone run he gave up came on a homer from Mookie Betts to open the game.
"I feel like I was 1-2 against most guys, and most of my pitches I had decent command of tonight," Gibson said.
