“DIARY OF A WINNER” |
THE BEST RED SOX TEAM EVAH! ... June 20, 2018 ... Robbie Grossman and Max Kepler homered to back an effective start by Lance Lynn as the Twins beat the the Red Sox, 4-1. Grossman led off the bottom of the first with a solo home run and Kepler added a two-run shot off David Price. Brian Dozier added a pair of doubles to help Minnesota win for the fourth time in five games. Lynn (5-5) again struggled with command, issuing five walks, but he surrendered just one unearned run and three hits in five innings. Four relievers combined for four scoreless innings, retiring 12 of the final 13 batters, with Fernando Rodney securing his 16th save in 19 chances. The Red Sox were 0 for 9 with runners in scoring position and are 2 for 22 in the first two games of the series. They’ve stranded 18 baserunners in the two games and lost for the fourth time in five games. The Sox’s lone run scored in the second as Lynn couldn’t catch first baseman Logan Morrison’s high throw to first for the final out of the inning, allowing Mitch Moreland to score from second base on an error charged to Morrison. Price was hurt by the home run but allowed three runs on seven hits and a walk. He had given up just one home run in his previous five starts and seven total in 14 starts this season. Kepler hit his first home run in 22 games and the fifth of his eight this season against left-handed pitching. Kepler was hitting .158 over his previous 21 games with just four RBIs. Drew Pomeranz is getting closer to having his first throwing session since he went on the 10-day disabled list on June 5 for left biceps tendonitis. |
