Gibson, Twins struggle against White Sox
MINNEAPOLIS — One day after a solid all-around effort to snap a 13-game losing streak, the Minnesota Twins and Greenfield-Central graduate Kyle Gibson struggled in an 11-4 loss to the Chicago White Sox on Friday night at Target Field.
Todd Frazier was able to pull the White Sox back from an early deficit with his two-run homer in the fourth inning. Chicago later added an RBI double from Carlos Sanchez and a two-run single from Jose Abreu in the eighth to cap a three-run inning.
Twins starter Gibson, who entered the game with a 5-1 record and 1.80 ERA in eight career starts against the White Sox, was tagged for five earned runs in 52/3 innings. He had only allowed one earned run in 122/3 innings in two previous starts this season against Chicago.
“Tonight what they did was they hit my mistakes really well,” Gibson told MLB.com reporters. “Frazier hit the homer to center on a slider that just didn’t move. Abreu hit a lot of balls hard, and they hit a couple of balls the other way. It seemed like any mistake that I made over the middle and elevated, they hit hard, and that’s what good teams are going to do.”
