BOSTON (AP) — Minnesota Twins right-hander Kenta Maeda left the game after being hit by a 111 mph line drive in the left ankle. Maeda stayed on his feet long enough to field the ball and throw Jarren Duran out at first for the third out of the second inning. Maeda then crumpled to the grass. The Twins training staff rushed out to help him and he eventually walked to the dugout. Emilio Pagan came in to start the third. The Twins said Maeda had a bruised left ankle and X-rays were negative.  The Red Sox went on to score six runs in the third inning against reliever Emilio Pagan and went on to win 11-5.
