Joel Pineiro allowed seven runs on seven hits and two home runs in just 4 1/3 innings on Wednesday, falling to 5-6 in Los Angeles' 11-4 loss to the Twins.
He struck out two and walked one. Both home runs came off the bat of Delmon Young, who got Pineiro for a two-run shot in the second and solo bomb in the fourth. He's now allowed 12 home runs in 103 1/3 innings on the season, a poor ratio for a groundball pitcher that makes a large majority of his starts in pitcher-friendly stadiums.
