Twins sweep Red Sox at Fenway for first time since 1994
The Minnesota Twins secured a narrow 6-5 victory over the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park on Sunday. The win completed a three-game sweep, marking their first such achievement in Boston since 1994. A late rally and a clutch save from rookie Travis Adams sealed the result. Boston struck first with power hitting. Willson Contreras smashed his 11th homer of the season—a two-run shot into the Green Monster seats. Marcelo Mayer followed with an RBI single in the fourth, putting the Red Sox ahead 4-3.
Minnesota responded in the sixth inning. Austin Martin’s RBI double levelled the game before Brooks Lee delivered a tiebreaking two-run single. Martin later scored the third run of the inning after an error by Red Sox catcher Carlos Narváez. Pitching played a key role in the outcome. Bailey Ober (6-2) picked up the win despite allowing four runs over five innings. Tayron Guerrero (0-1) took the loss after surrendering two runs in just two-thirds of an inning. With two runners on in the ninth, Adams stepped in for his first career save, shutting down Boston’s final threat.
The Twins’ sweep at Fenway is their first since 1994. Brooks Lee’s decisive hit and Adams’ composed finish ensured the 6-5 win. Minnesota now looks ahead after a strong series, while Boston reflects on a missed chance to close out the game.
