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.

Fewer referrals, slashed decision times and a saving of more than 10 hours of live play.These are the major positives put in front of the NRL competition committee on Tuesday following the raft of rule changes made to the game in 2016.Among them was video referral decisions taking an average of 12 seconds less time compared to last year, as a result of the introduction of the $2 million bunker this season.Surprisingly, only 41 per cent of try attempts have been sent to the bunker this season, after 44 per cent were referred in 2015.However, stats did show a five per cent rise in live decisions overturned by the men in Eveleigh compared to video officials who were at the ground last year.Whether most of them were correct calls is up for debate.But in a big coup for the game, fans have been treated to more live play, with more than 10 hours saved as a result of the scrum clock and drop-out clock in 2016.Competition committee member Trent Robinson admitted just last week that the maligned bunker would be set for a review at the end of the season following a coachs meeting in May.But NRL Head of Football Brian Canavan said it was critical the committee be shown the early results before discussing more changes over the summer.ddddddddddddThis is an incredibly important group and todays meeting was a great opportunity to put some early results from some of the major changes in the game to them, he said.The group will now go back and digest a lot of the information so they can look at the way some of those key changes are shaping the game.Robinson and South Sydney counterpart Michael Maguire are the two coaches elected into the committee, which includes Rugby League Players Association representative Clint Newton, and NRL boss Todd Greenberg.Australian Rugby League Commission chairman John Grant and commissioner Wayne Pearce are also in the group.The state-of-the-game update also showed 34 per cent of games this year have been decided by six points or fewer, a record 15 games have been decided by golden point, and there has been an increase in tries.Television audiences are also up 16 per cent compared to last season.
