BOSTON -- A year ago, Rick Porcello was hearing nearly as many boos as cheers in Fenway Park.Now, hes piling up wins in front of the home fans.Porcello became the first Boston pitcher in 55 years to open a season 10-0 in Fenway, and Hanley Ramirez and Travis Shaw both hit a three-run homer as the Red Sox beat the Minnesota Twins 8-7 Sunday to earn a split of a four-game series.I just feel good here, Porcello said. I feel comfortable pitching in front of our crowd.Last year, the 27-year-old Porcello was expected to be an ace for the staff after the club acquired him from Detroit before the season, but he lost six of his first 11 starts at home and ended the year just 9-15 overall with a 4.92 ERA.Rick is in a very good place here in Fenway, Red Sox manager John Farrell said. You talk about dependable and reliable, he embodies that. He epitomizes that.Porcello (13-2) allowed five runs with eight strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings, becoming the first since Don Schwall in 1961 to win his first 10 Fenway decisions in a season.Dustin Pedroia hit a tiebreaking solo homer and Xander Bogaerts had three singles for Boston, which won its 10th time in 13 games.Juan Centeno had three hits and drove in three runs for the Twins, who completed a seven-game road trip 4-3 but gave up four unearned runs in a key inning.Youve got a chance to come in here and potentially beat a team thats been playing good -- three out of four, Minnesota manager Paul Molitor said. Unearned runs, theyre painful, theyre tough when you cant find a way to get off the field.Brad Ziegler got the final three outs for his first save with Boston after being acquired from Arizona earlier this month.The Red Sox surged ahead with five runs -- four unearned -- and chased Tommy Milone (3-3) in the fifth.Pedroia homered over the Green Monster. Third baseman Miguel Sano had a grounder go through his legs for an error that scored a run before Shaw belted his homer into Bostons bullpen, making it 8-3.The one to Shaw was just a curveball that hung over the middle of the plate, Milone said. He was waiting for it. They capitalized hard on the mistakes.Milone gave up eight runs -- four earned -- in 4 2/3 innings, snapping a personal three-game winning streak.The Twins scored two runs in the seventh and eighth innings, slicing it to 8-7.Ramirezs homer -- his fifth in five games -- went into the first row of Monster seats, with a fan making a nice standing, two-handed grab, to make it 3-2.The Twins tied it when Max Kepler tripled leading off the fourth before scoring on Kennys Vargas grounder.TRAINERS ROOMTwins: C Kurt Suzuki was out with stitches in his chin after getting hit in the face mask Saturday. Were trying to look at ways that we can potentially protect him if we needed to play him in an emergency, Molitor said.Red Sox: DH David Ortiz was rested. . Farrell said CF Mookie Betts right knee was improved and we hope that by (Monday) night hes back in the lineup. Betts left Fridays game with soreness in the knee.BULLPEN HELPThe Red Sox recalled RHP Joe Kelly from Triple-A Pawtucket before the game after sending RHP Heath Hembree there following Saturdays loss.Kelly has only started since being acquired in 2014, but has pitched 52 2/3 career innings of relief with a 3.25 ERA.KEY OUTJunichi Tazawa entered with bases-loaded and no outs in the eighth. He allowed two inherited runners to score, but struck out Byron Buxton on a splitter in the dirt to end the inning.NEW JEWELRYOrtiz wore a Boston Marathon medal in the dugout thats given to runners that finish.A friend of mine that ran the Marathon gave it to me, he said, pointing to it hanging in his locker. I wear my jewelry on different days. I just put it on.UP NEXT:Twins: Theyre off Monday before beginning a six-game homestand Tuesday. RHP Ervin Santana (3-8, 3.93) faces Atlanta RHP Lucas Harrell (1-2, 4.24) in the first of a two-game series.Red Sox: LHP Drew Pomeranz makes his second start for Boston Monday after being acquired from San Diego. He gave up five runs in three innings in his debut Wednesday against the Giants. RHP Justin Verlander (9-6, 3.74) is slated to go for the Tigers in the opener of a three-game series.

MORITZ, Switzerland -- Fog prevented downhill racers from getting their Olympic dress rehearsal. Tyson Frizell has questioned the lack of common sense in the NRL judiciary process after he was outed for one-match for making contact with a referee at the NRL judiciary on Tuesday.Frizell unsuccessfully fought a grade one contrary conduct for touching referee Chris James in St George Illawarras loss to Canterbury on Friday.The judiciary panel of Chris McKenna, Mal Cochrane and Sean Garlick took just five minutes to reach their verdict after a hearing that lasted half an hour.It was one NSW backrower Frizell had trouble understanding.Common sense needs to come in there, he said.There was no malice at all, or going in to make aggressive contact towards the referee. It was purely accidental.Im pretty disappointed with whats happened.Something we tried to put forward was that it was an accident.I guess they see it as black and white, and say contact with the referee will give you a week on the sideline.The decision came after the NRL moved to clarify the rule last week, saying that careless contact would be penalised.Frizells suspension was met with derision by a number of NRL figures.RIP Rugby League tweeted Queensland and Manly prop Nate Myles.Penrith supremo Phil Gould wrote on Twiitter: Honestly, youve had your fun.dddddddddddd Is there any chance we can have our game back now please? Before its too late!!Gold Coast rake Nathan Peats wrote: Poor Tyson Frizell.Frizells defence counsel Nick Ghabar argued that his client did not initiate contact with James.The referee made the initial contact with player Frizell, he said.The reflex nature of (Frizells) action was accidental.Neither person appreciated how close they were in proximity to each other.It was a slight tap or a brush against the referee. He gently or politely touched him after he was confronted with the referee blocking his path.Judiciary prosecutor Peter McGrath argued the contact Frizell made in the fourth minute of the round 21 encounter won by the Bulldogs was neither incidental or accidental.He had that special duty all players do to avoid contact with the referee, and he had plenty of time to do that, McGrath said.The contact was avoidable and unnecessary.Frizell will return for the Dragons round 23 match against arch-rivals Cronulla at Kogarah Oval on Saturday week.
