Minnesota Mashes Boston


BOSTON: 0 1 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 - 3 7 0
MINNESOTA: 1 0 0 2 0 2 2 0 x - 7 12 1



The Boston Red Sox ended their Florida portion of Spring Training with a disappointing loss to the Minnesota Twins. They did have the consolation of having won the Mayor's Cup on Saturday 28 March 2009, thus winning the preseason series with the Twins by three games to two games. In Hammond Stadium in South Fort Myers, the only highlight for Boston was the two-run homerun by Jason Bay in the top of the fourth inning. The team heads North today to New York for the final two Spring Training games against the New York Mets. A few players will be staying behnd (Tim Wakefield, George Kottaras, et.al.) to continue training before heading to Boston for the start of the regular season. Farewell Florida!
