Red Sox, Twins Split Rain-Delayed Minneapolis Series

The Boston Red Sox defeated the Minnesota Twins 8-5 with a strong offensive performance highlighted by Trevor Story's two-run home run and multiple key hits from Roman Anthony, Alex Bregman, and Wilyer Abreu. Twins rookie pitcher Pierson Ohl had an impressive start, striking out the side in his first inning, but struggled in the third inning when the Red Sox hit for the cycle. Lucas Giolito, pitching for the Red Sox, limited the Twins' offense despite allowing baserunners in several innings. The night before, the Twins had edged out the Red Sox 5-4 in a game delayed by storms, with Brooks Lee delivering a walk-off two-run single. In that game, the Twins capitalized on Red Sox pitching struggles, while the Red Sox's Alex Bregman hit a three-run homer. The recent games underscore a competitive series between the two teams with both sides showcasing strong individual performances and dramatic late-inning moments.
