Twins Rally for Walk-Off Win Over Red Sox After 90-Minute Rain Delay

News summary

The Minnesota Twins defeated the Boston Red Sox 5-4 in a dramatic walk-off victory following a 90-minute rain delay in the ninth inning at Target Field. Brooks Lee hit a crucial two-run single off Boston reliever Jordan Hicks, who struggled to regain form after warming up before and after the delay, loading the bases and allowing the winning hit. The Red Sox faced bullpen challenges with closer Aroldis Chapman sidelined due to back tightness and Garrett Whitlock ill, while the Twins had recently traded starting pitcher Chris Paddack. Despite Boston taking a temporary lead in the ninth with an RBI single by Roman Anthony, the Twins rallied in the bottom half with key contributions from DaShawn Keirsey Jr., Mickey Gasper, Willi Castro, and Lee. Twins manager Rocco Baldelli praised the team’s resilience amid an emotional day marked by Paddack's trade, highlighting the collective effort needed to secure the win. Boston’s Lucas Giolito is scheduled to start the next game against a Twins bullpen-staffed lineup.
