Red Sox Sweep Twins with 13-1 Rout in Series Finale

The Boston Red Sox secured a commanding 13-1 series-clinching victory against the Minnesota Twins, highlighted by Jarren Duran's 3-for-5 performance, including a home run and four RBIs, and Trevor Story's 17th home run of the season. Red Sox starter Brayan Bello delivered seven strong innings, allowing one earned run and recording four strikeouts, marking his ninth quality start in ten outings. Earlier in the series, Lucas Giolito pitched six innings with one earned run and five strikeouts to help Boston to an 8-5 win, while Duran and Story contributed offensively again. The Twins struggled with injuries, placing Byron Buxton on the injured list and listing Carlos Correa as day-to-day after a migraine. Boston finished July with a strong 17-7 record and holds the fifth-best record in the American League at 59-51, preparing for a six-game home stand starting Friday against Houston. Minnesota, at 51-57, is on a four-game losing streak since the All-Star break and begins a six-game road trip Friday at Cleveland.
