Red Sox strand 11 baserunners in 4-1 loss to the Twins: Boston starter Rick Porcello (4-10) gave up four runs on six hits in six innings, striking out six and walking two. It was his 14th straight start going at least six innings, the AL’s longest active streak. (Boston.com)
Tzu-Wei Lin’s hard work is paying off in a major way: To bypass Triple A after more than five years in the Red Sox farm system is one thing. To take the fourth major league pitch you see — a 2-and-1 fastball from Twins ace Jose Berrios on Monday night — and calmly redirect it onto the outfield grass for a single is something else entirely.
