Morales, Sox Put A Bandaid On Situation

Franklin Morales gave the Red Sox six outstanding innings of 3-hit, 1-run baseball in a spot start for Josh Beckett in the team's 6-4 win over the Minnesota Twins at Fenway Park. The victory averted a sweep by the Twins, but did little to stop the swirling tempest of rumor, innuendo, and nonsense eminating from 4 Yawkey Way these days.

Adrian Gonzalez (pictured) hit his 11th home run of the season in the bottom of the 5th inning and Carl Crawford went 3-5 on his 31st birthday in the win.

Vicente Padilla struggled in the top of the 9th inning, allowing a pair of home runs, but Alfredo Aceves came on to seal the win and earn his 23rd save of the season.

During the game, the Red Sox issued a press release saying the team had acquired 3rd baseman Danny Valencia from Minnesota in exchange for minor league outfielder Jeremias Pineda. Valencia was optioned to AAA Pawtucket.

Born in Queens, NYC and lived kind of all over the place from PA to NJ to NYC and back to NJ. Yeah, I used to be that guy on WNEW-FM. No, I never worked at WPLJ (honest). I support my family by doing two things in life I truly love - baseball and radio (WDHA).
