The Minnesota Twins were destroyed in Boston on Wednesday afternoon by the score of 18-5. The Twins gave up seven runs in the 7th inning as the Red Sox broke the game wide open. It was just a bad series for the Twins as they were swept in all three games.
Five different Twins pitchers gave up atleast two runs each. Starter Livan Hernandez was tagged for 11 hits and six runs in only 4 1/3 innings. Boof Bonser then allowed four runs, Craig Breslow gave up two runs, Brian Bass was charged with five runs while Dennys Reyes gave up one run.
The Twins offense did have 14 hits in the game and scored five runs but there was just no way they were going to catch the Red sox. Justin Morneau had a two run home run while Jason Kubel added a solo home run. Joe Mauer and Nick Punto both chipped in with rbi singles as well.
The Twins will now go start a four game series against the Detroit Tigers on Thursday night.
