MINNEAPOLIS – The Boston Red Sox avoided the sweep against the Minnesota Twins this Wednesday at Target Field, achieving a 9-5 victory. The game was marked by a crucial defensive error and the outstanding offensive performance of Trevor Story.
The Key Game
The course of the game changed in the third inning. An unusual double error by second baseman Luke Keaschall allowed Boston to score two runs. Immediately afterwards, Story hit a three-run home run, boosting the visiting offense and starting the comeback.
Story continued his outstanding performance, connecting a tow-rope double in the sixth inning, which allowed him to finish the game with five RBIs, leading the Red Sox’s triumph.
From the mound, rookie left-hander Connelly Early delivered a solid start. He pitched six innings, allowing only two hits and one run, with two walks and five strikeouts. His performance was key to stabilizing the team after two series losses.
Boston, which had been surpassed in the first two games, managed to split the series with a 3-3 balance, which allows them to return home with a better attitude.
The team, led by Alex Cora, prepares for a four-game series against the Detroit Tigers.
