The Red Sox's roster is starting to take shape as they close in on an Opening Day matchup against the Baltimore Orioles on March 30. Boston manager Alex Cora and chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom still have some decisions to make, however. The Red Sox still need a fifth starter as they wait for Brayan Bello and Garrett Whitlock to get back up to speed.
FORT MYERS, FL – 15 hits helped the Minnesota Twins rout the Boston Red Sox 11-0 in a spring training game Wednesday at JetBlue Park. Trevor Larnach went 4-for-4 and hit his third homer of the spring for the Twins (10-12-3). Michael A. Taylor hit two doubles and drove in three runs. Jose Miranda and Kyle Farmer each hit their fourth home runs of this camp. Joe Ryan, Emilio Pagán and Cole Sands combined to shut out the Red Sox on six hits. Ryan struck out five in two innings.
Tanner Houck will start the third game of the Red Sox's regular season, manager Alex Cora announced Wednesday after the Twins crushed the righty here at JetBlue Park. Houck gave up eight runs on 10 hits, including three homers, in 4 ⅔ innings. “I sucked,” Houck said. Houck has allowed 16 runs in 17 ⅓ innings (8.31 ERA) over five starts this spring.
