A followed-from-work bullet-point recap:
*After surviving a couple of close calls in his first three save situation, Juan Minaya couldn’t avoid utter ruin in today’s game. He came out in the ninth inning after an Alen Hanson solo homer put the Sox ahead, but proceeded to throw just 11 of his 24 pitches for strikes.
Minaya gave up a leadoff single to Ehire Adrianza, wasted a gift of a botched sac bunt by walking Brian Dozier, then gave up a game-tying single to Eddie Rosario. He then walked Joe Mauer to load the bases, and when it looked like he might escape with a tie game, drilled Max Kepler with a slider for the Homer Simpson limp-off HBP.
