Kyle Gibson beings the game by striking out Shane Victorino.

[Seth Stohs]

Gibson ended the first inning by striking out Lyle Overbay. In between, he got a ground out and a ground ball single up the middle.

Gibson gave up a 2nd inning HR to Juan Carlos Linares

[Willihammer]

I wish Provus would tell us what Gibson is throwing. Sounds like he has had a couple really wild pitches.

I was not listening 100%, but it sounded as if he was tired.

Atta boy Justin!

This homer is a welcome sign that Morneau is healthy.
