BOSTON - Rookie Griffin Jax had a rough introduction to Fenway Park last night. The Twins righthander gave up nine runs in an 11-9 loss to the Red Sox, the Twins' fourth consecutive loss on their eastern road swing.
To add insult to injury, ex-Twin Hansel Robles snuffed the Twins rally in the ninth inning, ending a four hour, nine minute marathon.
Another Twins rookie, Bailey Ober, gets his chance against one of baseball's more powerful lineups tonight (6:10 p.m., BSN). Ober is 1-2 with a 4.38 ERA.
Nick Pivetta (9-6, 4.43 ERA) starts for the Red Sox.
