And the Twins still have 8 more outs to play with. This is one of those games where once it gets past 7 or 8 to nothing, you just sit back, relax, and laugh about it. Not much else you can do, just like there's not much the Sox can do to stop the Twins this afternoon.
Joe Mauer has 6 RBI today, including a grand slam. Michael Cuddyer added a 3-run shot, and Say it Ain't So Joe Crede has a solo blast. Despite whatever you want to call today's defeat - I don't think shellacking justifies it - the Sox played well the first two nights of the series. And, indeed, it will be their first series win since they took two from the Mariners in April. And now they have the Pirates coming up this weekend. Baby steps to getting themselves back in order.
Not that they are that close to turning the corner. Adding a certain pitcher from San Diego might help them do that, though...
Correction: the Twins only have 6 outs to play with now.
