Minnesota Wastes Great Game by Morales
Kendrys Morales did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the Minnesota Twins from losing, 9-6, to the Boston Red Sox at Target Field. Morales went 3-4 with 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. Boston bumps their record to 44-31 with the win.

Had Cesar Puello not delivered a key base hit in the top of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 2nd and 3rd, Puello hit a 2-run double. That made the score 8-6, in favor of the Red Sox.

Puello called the triumph "a good team win."
