FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) – Mike Pelfrey struck out five in three impressive innings to help the Minnesota Twins beat the Boston Red Sox 2-0 on Friday night.
It was Pelfrey’s second scoreless outing in a row following a shaky spring debut with his new team. The big right-hander, dumped by the Mets in the offseason, is coming off Tommy John surgery last May and competing for a spot in Minnesota’s rotation.
Red Sox starter Ryan Dempster went 3 2-3 innings, allowing two runs and five hits with two strikeouts.
Minnesota got to Dempster with two outs in the third. Aaron Hicks doubled and scored on Brian Dozier’s single.![]()
