Minnesota left-handed rookie Adalberto Mejia dazzled the Red Sox lineup last night—handcuffing Boston in a crucial 4-1 loss. The defeat coupled with a Bronx Emblamer victory, threw the AL East back into a virtual tie. 'Highly Unattractive' Rick Porcello appeared again, unable to finish off hitters—while throwing over 122 pitches in six ineffective innings. Last year's Cy Young Award winner gave up four earned runs—placing his ERA at 5.06. Mookie Betts was the only Carmine Hoser to collect two hits—in the seven-hit "barrage".
