The East Gets Closer
The Red Sox fall to the Twins 7-3. Boston scored in the first inning but that was it as Buchholz was wild tonight, walking five in 4 1/3 innings. Meanwhile, the Rays take down the Yankees 7-1. Garza records a short shutout, lasting seven innings without allowing a run. The Yankees offense continues a listless start of the season.
With the Rays win and the Red Sox loss, Tampa Bay is now just 1/2 game behind the Red Sox in the AL East. The Rays keep setting team records for games over .500, now six.
