Clay Buchholz pitched eight scoreless innings as the Boston Red Sox ended a three-game slide with a 1-0 victory over the Minnesota Twins at Fenway Park on Tuesday night.
Buchholz got all the run support he needed on Rusney Castillo’s run-scoring single in the seventh.
Buchholz struck out eight and allowed three hits before Koji Uehara took over in the ninth and picked up his 11th save to preserve the shutout.
Mike Pelfrey had a solid start as he and Buchholz carried shutouts into the seventh inning, when the Red Sox broke the tie.
