Red Sox move into first place with rain-delayed, 9-3 win over Twins

Drew Pomeranz wasn't expecting one rain delay, let alone two. Pomeranz pitched five solid innings, Chris Young hit a three-run homer and the Boston Red Sox moved into first place in the AL East with a 9-2 victory against the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night. Pomeranz (7-4) had to sit through nearly an hour delay before the game started, then a 76-minute delay between the second and third as a thunderstorm slowly passed over Fenway Park.
