The Twins scored both of their runs after a Red Sox pitcher had walked the bases loaded. And the night ended with Rafael Devers being gunned down at the plate, trying to score the tying run.
After Mookie Betts's 26th home run of the season had given Boston a 1-0 lead in the top of the fourth (it was also the Red Sox's first baserunner of the game), Nathan Eovaldi (5-1-1-4-3, 76) walked the first three batters in the top of the fifth. C.J. Cron grounded into a double play, but the tying run scored.
Andrew Cashner got the first out in the top of the seventh, but he issued three walks (though he squeezed in a strikeout between BB#2 and BB#3).
