Red Sox Sweep Twins in Doubleheader

The Minnesota Twins faced a tough doubleheader against the Boston Red Sox, losing both games and falling behind in the AL Wild Card race. In the first game, Triston Casas led the Red Sox to an 8-1 victory with three home runs and seven RBIs, marking a standout performance after recovering from an injury. The Twins struggled offensively, mustering only four hits, while their starter Pablo Lopez allowed seven runs. In the nightcap, Romy Gonzalez's three-run homer propelled the Red Sox to a 9-3 win, further complicating the Twins' playoff aspirations, now sitting at 81-75. With this loss, the Twins have dropped 13 of their last 19 games, putting their postseason hopes at risk. They need to regain momentum quickly, as they are now one game behind both Detroit and Kansas City for the final Wild Card spots.
