Red Sox Fall Short, 3-2, at Minnesota
In a low-scoring affair between the Minnesota Twins and the Boston Red Sox, pitcher Bailey Ober was the difference between victory and defeat. The Minnesota right-hander earned accolades in the 3-2 Twins win. The win lifted the Minnesota record to 74-62.

Had Royce Lewis not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Lewis hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 3-2, in favor of the Twins.

"That's a solid team effort right there," said Lewis. "Everyone's feeling positive after that win."
