Things begin poorly for the Red Sox Wednesday night and quickly went downhill from there.

The Minnesota Twins jumped on Corey Kluber for three runs in the first, then added another four in the third en route to a 10-3 thrashing of the Red Sox.

Of the seven runs allowed by Kluber over five innings, six came on two three-run homers. Kluber has allowed six homers in 18 innings.

The Sox scratched out solo runs in the third and sixth innings. Kiké Hernandez added a solo shot in the sixth, the 100th homer of his career.
