Twins 6, Red Sox 4

A sweep of the Red Sox by the Twins.  Rick Porcello remains snake-bitten by 2 more pitches that got away & ended up in the stands.  Dustin Pedroia muscled up for 2 homers & 4 RBI, but not enough to produce a win.  Dark days, dark clouds following the Sox in May.  A record of 9-16, last place in the East.  And yet, only 4 games out of 1st place.  Eduardo Rodriguez gets a spot start to see if he can help this team get a win.  Rodriguez could be a replacement for Joe Kelly or he could be part of a trade deal down the road.  Media is calling for Farrell to be replaced.  With 2/3 of the season still in front of them I expect the Sox to try a few more internal possibilities before heading to the trade market in early July.  This could be a much different looking team by July 31st.
