The Red Sox added a run each off Michael Tonkin and Kody Funderburk, and two more off Louie Varland. Meanwhile, the Twins’ offense had few answers for Boston starter Lucas Giolito, who pitched six innings and surrendered one run on Lee’s double to bring home Bader.

In the top of the 5th, Jarren Duran hit a solo homer to score the 5th Red Sox run. Rafaela hit a sacrifice fly in the 6th to tack on another run. In the top of the 8th, Bregman reached on a fielding error by Royce Lewis, then Story and Abreu doubled to score 2 more runs.
