This is what happens when I don't watch/listen/follow a Sox game. The team clearly needs me.
The Sox were pounded by the Twins in Minnesota 8-0 today. According to the box score, Liriano had no trouble with the "monster" part of the lineup (batters 3-thru-6) as they combined to go 2-for-15 on the day. In fact, you take the hot swinging Pedroia out of the equation and the Sox only collected 3 hits. Looks like Liriano's back.
The box score also says J.D. Drew struck out three times. In his defense, two of them were swinging strike outs.
The Sox could really use Ellsbury back in the leadoff spot and they could also you some more production at DH. Perhaps Francona should take a page out of the Tony LaRussa songbook and start concentrating on match ups, getting Mikey Lowell in there more often against lefties.
At least the Astros finally won a game.
