Story’s homer and Giolito’s strong outing lift Red Sox over Twins 8-5

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Trevor Story homered, doubled and drove in three runs, Lucas Giolito pitched six strong innings, and the Boston Red Sox beat the Minnesota Twins 8-5 on Tuesday night.

Giolito (7-2) gave up one run on five hits and two walks while striking out five. Jarren Duran also homered, doubled and stole a base for the Red Sox.

Brooks Lee homered twice and drove in all five Minnesota runs. Lee entered the game in the third inning to replace Carlos Correa, who left due to an illness.

Lee’s two-run shot off former teammate Jorge Alcala cut Boston’s lead to 8-5 in the bottom of the ninth.
