Kyle Gibson beings the game by striking out Shane Victorino.

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.

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

This homer is a welcome sign that Morneau is healthy.
