Joe Kelly Tagged By Twins, Red Sox Drop Opener 7-2

The loss snapped any momentum the Red Sox had after picking up two straight wins against the Angels over the weekend. Kelly (1-4) had given up three earned runs over 13 1-3 innings in his previous two starts, but he had nothing for the surging Twins. Minnesota sent 12 batters to the plate in the inning, getting Trevor Plouffe's seventh homer of the season and RBIs from Torii Hunter, Eduardo Nunez and Eddie Rosario to take a 7-0 lead. Matt Barnes pitched 3 1-3 innings of scoreless relief and had five strikeouts to keep the game from getting completely out of hand, and the Red Sox scratched a couple of runs across in the third inning. Nolasco gave up two runs on seven hits and struck out five in 7 2-3 innings and Plouffe hit a three-run homer to lead the Twins.
