Entering the bottom of the first inning with a 3-0 lead Clay Buccholz allowed two runs to come in and then five more followed before his night was over as the Twins won 7-3.
The 3-0 lead in the first inning for Boston came on a David Ortiz RBI single and Manny Ramirez’s 498th homerun, a two-run shot.
