The Boston Red Sox lost to the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night, also losing a pair of players to injury.

Will Middlebrooks and David Ross collided chasing a foul pop by Chris Parmelee in the fifth inning near the low wall about halfway between home plate and third base at Fenway Park.

Middlebrooks caught it, but Ross slid into him, forcing his back to hit the wall. Ross left later in the fifth with a left thigh contusion and Middlebrooks was replaced to start the seventh because of pain in his right side.

Ross is listed day to day, while Middlebrooks said he could have stayed in the game but will have X-rays and a CT scan.
