Rockies Lose In The Ninth – MLB Roundup For May 9th

UNDATED (AP) — Boston designated hitter David Ortiz ended his hitting streak at 27 games Wednesday night, although there were plenty of other sources for offense in Minnesota's 15-8 win over the Red Sox.

Pedro Florimon smacked a solo homer and a two-run double while the Twins were erupting for seven runs in the second inning. Ryan Doumit (DOH'-miht) launched a two-run homer, Trevor Plouffe (pluf) collected three RBIs and Oswald Arcia went 4-for-5 as part of Minnesota's 20-hit attack.

Ortiz went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts and three groundouts to halt a hitting streak that began last season.

The Red Sox lost for the fifth time in six games despite Jonny Gomes (gohmz) who hit a grand slam and drove in five runs.
