The Red Sox uncorked a modern record tying six wild pitches last night, but ultimately it wasn't the reason for their 4-2 loss to the Twins, giving up 13 hits and five walks was probably more responsible. Amalie Benjamin has a look at the wild night behind the plate for George Kottaras, who at times had … Continue reading Sox Out In The Wild
