Twins' Kyle Gibson: Throws six scoreless in win over Royals

Gibson (9-10) earned the win over the Royals on Saturday, allowing five hits over six scoreless innings. He struck out five and did not issue a walk.

While the offensive explosion was the story of the night for Minnesota in a 17-0 rout, Gibson was very good in his own right. Gibson has earned wins in three straight starts and has posted a 20:2 K:BB in that stretch, but those performances have come against some of the coldest offenses in the American League (White Sox, Blue Jays and Royals). That said, he does get the Royals again his next time out.
