MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -The Boston Red Sox have tied a modern day record with six wild pitches in a game against the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday night.
Starter Daisuke Matsuzaka threw four wild pitches in five innings. That tied a franchise record that was set by Milt Gaston 80 years ago.
Relievers Manny Delcarmen and Justin Masterson also threw wild pitches in the game. It’s the first time a team has thrown six wild pitches in a game since the California Angels did it against the Twins on April 13, 1991.
It’s the fifth time since 1900 that a team has thrown six wild pitches in a game.
Five of the six wild pitches came with Twins speedster Denard Span on base.
