HOUSTON -- After looking a bit shaky early, right-hander Kyle Gibson settled down to register a quality start against a potent Astros lineup.
Gibson surrendered four runs (two earned) on four hits and a walk over seven innings, but it wasn't enough for the Twins in a 4-1 loss on Monday afternoon at Minute Maid Park. Gibson bounced back after running into trouble early, retiring 15 of the final 17 batters he faced.
Gibson gave up a run in the first on a homer from Alex Bregman on a 2-1 four-seam fastball that caught too much of the plate.
