Gibson, Twins top Rays 5-1 in rain-delayed series opener

DAVE CAMPBELL (AP Sports Writer)The Associated Press

Gibson struck out nine batters over eight easy innings for the Twins, who handed Tampa Bay ace Blake Snell his shortest start of the season and beat the Rays 5-1 on Thursday night after a two-hour rain delay. ''Just had to add to the caffeine and keep the body loose,'' Gibson said.
