'Nervous' Park fans 3 times in debut

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Korean slugger Byung Ho Park's Grapefruit League debut didn't exactly go as he envisioned it, as he struck out three times while serving as designated hitter for the Twins in a 7-4 win over the Red Sox on Wednesday at JetBlue Park.

Park's first at-bat came with the bases loaded and two outs in the first, but he struck out swinging against lefty Henry Owens to end the inning. Park struck out swinging again in the third against right-hander Noe Ramirez and looking in the fifth facing lefty Brian Johnson.
