BOSTON -- Kyle Gibsons stellar star Friday may have been just what the Minnesota Twins needed to finally go on a little run, starting with Saturdays game against the Red Sox.The Twins (36-60) became the first American League team to reach 60 losses after Thursdays 13-2 rout in the series opener against the Red Sox in Boston, but bounced back in a big way.Gibson pitched eight one-run innings and gave up just hits while Miguel Sano played the hero as Minnesota held on for a 2-1 victory.The starting staffs been throwing a little bit better, Gibson said. Whenever that happens, thats always going to help you go on a run. Hopefully we can do it again (Saturday).Boston (54-40) pounded out 17 hits while scoring 13 runs in Thursdays blowout, but had only two going into Fridays ninth inning before loading the bases for David Ortiz with nobody out.Miraculously, the Red Sox couldnt win the game -- or even tie it.(Bostons) a good team, a really good team, Gibson said. If our defense is going to play like that and offense is going to scrape a couple runs when they need to, I think we can get on a run.Boston turns to David Price to get back on track Saturday.Price (9-7, 4.36 ERA) has been durable, if nothing else, in his recent starts at Fenway Park.The high-priced southpaw is 6-3 with a 4.06 ERA at home this season, but has gone eight innings in four straight Fenway starts.Price finished an out shy of a quality start Sunday against the Yankees in New York, allowing three runs on 11 hits and a walk -- but with just one strikeout -- in a 5 2/3-inning loss.I couldnt execute whatever pitch I was throwing to get an out, Price said. Thats tough.It was the second time this year Price recorded one strikeout in a start. He also totaled one in his June 24 start at Texas, something he hadnt done in 40 prior turns.You guys are tired of hearing it, and Im tired of saying it: Ive got to execute, Price said.Price is 9-3 with a 2.12 ERA in 15 starts career against Minnesota. Brian Dozier is 6-for-31 lifetime against Price, but has two home runs, four RBI and two walks.Kurt Suzuki, who was given the day off Friday, is expected back in the lineup. While Suzuki is 7-for-33 against Price, he has a homer and a team-leading six RBI off him.Ricky Nolasco (4-8, 5.02 ERA) has also proven somewhat durable in his recent starts, going at least six innings in seven of his last nine since the start of June.Last time out, Nolasco surrendered only one run on three hits and a walk with no strikeouts in a hard-luck, six-inning 1-0 loss at Detroit. It was his fourth loss in five starts.Nolasco is 3-2 with a 4.50 ERA in six career starts against Boston, but has struggled mightily at Fenway.The right-hander is 1-1 at the ballpark with a 10.80 ERA, his highest at any park with at least two appearances.His last start at Fenway came four years ago with Miami, a nine-run debacle over 3 1/3 innings of a 15-5 loss on June 20, 2012.Unsurprisingly, David Ortiz has been a problem for Nolasco -- as he has been for so many other pitchers.The retiring 40-year-old slugger is 4-for-13 with six RBI against him, but three of those hits have been home runs.Aaron Hill is 6-for-20 with a pair of RBI, Dustin Pedroia is 4-for-15 and Hanley Ramirez is 2-for-6 with an RBI against Nolasco.

Aside from the trilogy main event title fight, there are a number of intriguing matchups in the heavyweight, welterweight and lightweight divisions. Minutes after the College Football Playoff matchups were announced Sunday afternoon, Las Vegas sportsbook operator CG Technology installed Alabama as an 11-point favorite over Washington.By the time the initial rush of money slowed, the Crimson Tide were a 14.5-point favorite. Of the first $12,000 bet on the game Sunday, approximately $11,000 of it was on Alabama, according to CG Technology vice president Jason Simbal.At MGMs sportsbook, seven of the first nine bets on the national semifinal were on the Crimson Tide, with an average bet size of $1,800.I think its an indication of what the public is going to do, Jay Rood, vice president of MGM race and sports books, said of the early wagering.The line for the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl (3 p.m. ET, Dec. 31, ESPN) got to as high as Alabama minus-15 on Sunday at the MGM before settling at minus-14.5. It could be found as high as Alabama minus-16.5 in the offshore market and is the largest line of any College Footbball Playoff matchup to date.ddddddddddddAlabama has been favored in 95 of its past 96 games.Ohio State opened as a 3-point favorite over Clemson in the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl?(7 p.m. ET, Dec. 31, ESPN). That line was holding steady as of Monday morning.The Buckeyes winning the national title is the worst-case scenario for some Las Vegas sportsbooks. William Hill took two $25,000 bets on Ohio State to win the championship at 4-1 odds. Each would net $100,000 if the Buckeyes win their second national title in the past three years.William Hill also accepted a $6,400 national championship bet on Washington at 15-1, which would net $96,000, and a $10,000 bet on Clemson at 9-1 that would produce a $90,000 profit. The largest bet on Alabama was $5,000 at 11-2, which would pay $27,500 if the Crimson Tide repeat as national champions.
