5 Twins, 2 Sox

Ya know we can't come back from every game.



The Sox failed to win their 6th straight and sweep the Minnesota Twins. Jon Lester had a pretty bad game for him going 7.1 innings, giving up 8 hits, 4 runs, walking 5 and striking out 4.



I thought there was a chance for a comeback in the 7th when Scutaro drove in Aviles to bring the Sox within one. David Ortiz came through again, with a solo-homer in the 8th to bring the game to 2-2. However, Lester couldn't hold the lead and let up a run, and left a man on 2nd when Aceves came in. Aceves then let in 2 runs having the score get to 5-2 and that's where it ended.



Ortiz had himself a series and had .636 average (7-for-11) with 2 home runs.



The Yanks won, bringing them to a game and a half behind the Sox.
