Hitting and pitching coinciding in the same nine inning span? Who are these guys? The Red Sox unloaded on the pitcher-free Twins for eighteen hits in a
lop-sided 11-2 win in the politeness capital of the Midwest. Home runs by David Ortiz and Mike Aviles (who went 4 for 5) powered the Carmine Hose, while Josh Beckett was spiffy in six solid innings.
The big righty gave up just two runs on five hits—ending his night with a flurry by fanning the side in his final frame. If Boston can pair this kind of start with this kind of firepower, they may yet regain the swagger we saw for four months last year.
