Royals take 1st loss as Gibson, Twins win 3-1 (Yahoo Sports)

[ASFN Admin]

Kansas City became the last team in the majors to lose this season, as Kyle Gibson pitched into the seventh inning and Oswaldo Arcia hit a two-run homer for the Minnesota Twins in a 3-1 victory over the Royals on Wednesday night. The Royals (7-1) were chasing the 2003 team's 9-0 start as the best in franchise history, but Gibson (1-1) used 12 groundball outs and three strikeouts to keep the highest-scoring team in the majors quiet for a night. The Twins (2-6) went 1-8 to begin the 1994 season, the only other time in the club's 55-year history they started with seven losses in their first eight games. Glen Perkins pitched a perfect ninth for his first save.
