Buchholz roughed up, Pedroia nicked up
FORT MYERS, Fla. — Red Sox starter Clay Buchholz threw three wild pitches, hit a batter, walked three and gave up six runs as the Minnesota Twins defeated Boston 7-2 on Tuesday night.
Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia left the game after one inning with a strained left wrist that he hurt while diving for a ball in the first inning. He was listed as day-to-day.
Twins catcher Joe Mauer went 1-for-4 with a double the day after signing his eight-year, $184 million contract extension.
Twins starter Carl Pavano struck out one, walked one and gave up two hits in five scoreless innings.
