Red Sox Beat the Twins 9-2 [VIDEO]
The Boston Red Sox beat the Minnesota Twins 9-2 Sunday afternoon, snapping the Twins 12-game winning streak, as the Red Sox homered for the 1st time in 6 games.
Ceddanne Rafaela homered in the 5th inning, a 2-run homer and his 3rd of the season.
Then Rafael Devers went "yard", with a 2-run home run in the 9th inning, his 4th of the season. Devers ended the day 2-5.
Jarren Duran was 2-5 leading off with a double and his 5th triple of the season.
Vaughn Grissom making his 2nd start for the Red Sox had a double and drove in 2 runs.

Brennan Bernadino picked up the win retiring the last 2 batters in the 5th inning. Of course it wouldn't be a Red Sox game without another injury.
