DOUBLEHEADER RECAP

GAME 1 Impact player

Kyle Gibson, Twins

Eight shutout innings for the righthander, and he argued for more, in earning his third victory.

GAME 2 Impact player

Chris Colabello, Twins

His two-run double got the Twins back in it after they fell behind 5-1; he also had a bases-loaded walk.

BY THE NUMBERS

0.93 Gibson's ERA, making him one of seven AL starters with an ERA below 1.00.

31 Degrees at first pitch of early game, the coldest in Minnesota history.

11 The major league record for walks in an inning, a mark the Twins fell three walks short of in Game 2.

11 Home runs by Jose Bautista in Target Field, most of any opponent.
