Update: Gabino went 0-0 with a 17.18 ERA in his two appearances with the Twins. He made his major league debut against the Orioles on Aug. 25 and allowed four runs and five hits in 2 2/3 innings.

I exchanged e-mails with a friend in Minnesota who’s familiar with Gabino and he says the Twins hoped that the right-hander would clear waivers.

He also said manager Ron Gardenhire was floored to see Gabino pitching exclusively from the stretch in that start against the Orioles.

It’s all coming back to me now.

Gabino is 22-19 with a 3.41 ERA in 192 career minor league games.
