HRs, late rally fall short as Gonsalves falters

MINNEAPOLIS -- Lefty Stephen Gonsalves' Major League debut didn't go as planned, as he couldn't make it out of the second inning against the White Sox.

Gonsalves, the Twins' No. 5 overall prospect per MLB Pipeline, gave up four runs over 1 1/3 innings in a 8-5 loss on Monday night in a makeup game at Target Field. Gonsalves, who had a 1.27 ERA over his last 11 starts at Triple-A, surrendered six hits, but had trouble with his control, walking two and hitting another batter.
