Scott Diamond isn't exactly
Randy Johnson out there. In fact, his top fastball barely touches 90 MPH. Nevertheless, the young Twins lefty stymied the Red Sox for seven stunning innings—limiting them to just three hits. In the meantime,
Ryan Dempster was nearly as good, yielding just two runs in seven plus innings.
A 2-0 game ballooned to 6-1 loss thanks to two errors by
Pedro Ciriaco—who had replaced an injured
Will Middlebrooks. On a slick sliding play, Middlebrooks collided with catcher
David Ross who
also left the game hurt. So, in the course of two days, Boston has suffered the injury bug with
Andrew Bailey (DL) and
Joel Hanrahan (DL) along with Middlebrooks and Ross. Yikes!
