Red Sox Stymie Minnesota, Take 2-1 Win
The Minnesota Twins and Boston Red Sox provided some drama at Target Field.

In a low-scoring game between Boston and Minnesota, pitcher Noah Syndergaard was excellent. The Boston right-hander was named the player of the game in Boston's 2-1 win. Craig Kimbrel was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 1 of 2 save opportunities.

In the top of the first, Logan Morrison ambushed a 3-1 fastball from Nick Pivetta and hit a 2-run home run. It gave Boston a quick 2-0 lead.

"I felt we were ready to go," said Boston manager Matt Spencer. "Our pregame was pretty good."

The Red Sox saw their record improve to 36-38.
