However, Price did not have a good outing in his last start giving up 6 earned runs in 5 innings in a loss to the New York Yankees.<\/p>\n<p>Price is 2-2 with a 2.66 ERA in 7 career games, including 6 starts, against the Twins.<\/p>\n<p>The Rays are 6-2 in Price\u2019s last 8 starts.<\/p>\n<p>Kyle Gibson (3-0 0.93 ERA) has been stellar so far this season and in his last start he did not give up any earned runs in 8 innings of work in a win over the Toronto Blue Jays.<\/p>\n<p>Last season Gibson was a rookie and went 2-4 with a 6.53 ERA.
