Kyle Gibson goes for the Twins tonight and his last start came at home facing the Indians where he was tagged up for 6 earned runs in only 2 innings in a 6-3 loss last Thursday. The Twins have lost 4 of their last 5 games, including their last 2, when Gibson has gotten the start. He is 0-2 with a 14.73 ERA in his last 3 outings against Cleveland. The Twins are 5-0 in Gibson’s last 5 starts following an outing of less than 4 innings in his last start. Cody Anderson faced Gibson in the win last week in Minnesota and the Indians have won 4 games in a row with him on the mound. He faced the Twins at home early in August and was less than stellar giving up 6 runs in 5 innings in a 10-9 Cleveland loss. The Indians are 5-2 in Anderson’s last 7 home starts.
The Twins really need a win, but with a struggling pitcher on the hill they will not get it tonight, as the Indians will take this game tonight at home.
