Yoan Moncada impressed in the 7-6 Boston win over Minnesota. Moncada, who is a two-time Gold Glove Award winner, was 2 for 4 with 2 singles and a walk, while scoring 2 times. Ed Goodwin claimed the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The left-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2 innings. His record stands at 4-4. Terence McCray recorded the save for Boston, his 15th of the season.

Nelson Martínez was 1 for 2, while adding 2 RBI for Boston. The 25-year old second baseman had a key at-bat in the top of the tenth. With one out and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he broke a 6-6 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Pat Calhoun. It was his 21st RBI of the season.

In postgame comments, Moncada said, "I think we gave the fans their money's worth."

The Twins, at 50-58, have lost 4 straight games.
