SP FA
Gibson (0-1) was awful in his first start of the season Thursday, giving up 13 baserunners (eight hits, five walks) and six runs in 3.2 innings against the Tigers.
For the icing on the cake, he didn't strike out a single batter. Gibson struggled in his first full MLB campaign last year, and though spring training promised some advancement, Thursday's outing was a big step in the wrong direction. He's scheduled to face the Royals next week; if things are this disastrous again, the Twins are going to have to start taking stock of who in the minors might be ready to come up.
