Kyle Gibson may not be a power pitcher, but he got the job done in his Triple-A debut on Friday.

Gibson allowed just one run in 52/3 innings, and Macri broke open a close game with a three-run home run off the left-field foul pole in the seventh inning as Rochester tied a season high with its fourth straight win.

"You're always a little bit nervous when you're at a new level," said Gibson, who was promoted from Double-A New Britain on Thursday. "I just tried to go out and give the team a chance to win."

With 20 members of his family from Greenfield, Ind., looking on, Gibson walked two, struck out one and threw 88 pitches (50 for strikes) before leaving in the sixth.

"When I took him out, I asked him if he had a good time," Wings manager Tom Nieto said. "He said 'I had a blast.'
