A late rally helped the Boston Red Sox finish their road trip by avoiding a fourth straight loss, but their task won’t get much easier as they return home. Boston’s next three opponents are in first place in their respective divisions, and the Minnesota Twins will be motivated to snap a five-game losing streak at Fenway Park as they open a two-game set Wednesday night. After losing their last two in Detroit and falling under .500 thanks to a late meltdown in Monday’s 11-9 loss at New York, the Red Sox were in danger of another defeat Tuesday, when they trailed 5-0.But Boston tied the game with four runs in the eighth inning and went ahead on Jeremy Hermida’s two-run double off Mariano Rivera in the ninth. Jonathan Papelbon bounced back from a blown save to hold off the Yankees for a 7-6 win.

The fourth-place Red Sox’s mediocre record would be even worse if not for several big comebacks. They have five wins after trailing by at least four runs, tied for the most in the majors with Detroit. No other team has more than one such victory. Boston won’t want to spot its next few foes big leads. After hosting Minnesota for two games, the Red Sox visit Philadelphia and Tampa Bay for three each. They’ll almost certainly need to improve their pitching in order to gain ground during that stretch. Despite featuring Josh Beckett, John Lackey and Jon Lester, Boston’s rotation ranks 28th in the majors with a 5.18 ERA, and young Clay Buchholz leads the group in that category. The 25-year-old issued five walks for the second straight start Friday night at Detroit, but held the Tigers to one run and three hits in six innings of a 7-2 win.
