BOSTON (AP) — Harrison Bader hit a go-ahead double off the Green Monster in the eighth inning, and the Minnesota Twins took the weekend series against the Boston Red Sox with a 5-4 victory on Sunday.
Byron Buxton hit a game-opening homer on Garrett Crochet’s first pitch for the Twins, who won consecutive road games for just the second time this season.
The Red Sox had a scare when a line drive off the bat of Carlos Correa skipped off the glove and nose of Crochet on its way to second base for a groundout.
