BOSTON — As expected, this blog and the game story file are filled with comments from apoplectic Twins fans after the 1-0 loss at Fenway Park. Just so everyone has some basic facts:

1) Scott Baker threw 94 pitches and was spent after seven innings. The game-time temp was 82 degrees, and it was plenty humid.

“You get a little gassed,” he said. “There’s no breaks [in Boston’s lineup]. It’s almost like a playoff atmosphere in this stadium. You’re letting it fly pretty much the whole game.”

2) Brian Bass had a 1.23 ERA over the previous two weeks.

3) Manny Ramirez batted .161 on Boston’s just completed 3-7 road trip.

4) Righthanded hitters were batting .291 against Hideki Okajima, compared to .220 for lefties.

5)  Delmon Young has put the first pitch in play in 57 of his 339 plate appearances this season. He is batting .304 when that happens.
