Red Sox 3, Twins 8: No Patriots’ Day magic this year

Patriots’ Day is always a special day in Massachusetts, and doubly so this year with the Marathon finally returning to its rightful day after two years off. Unfortunately, the Red Sox couldn’t ride those good vibes and had a tough series finale against the Twins. Rich Hill gave up a couple of two-run homers early to put the team in an early hole, and while the pitching settled in for a few innings in the middle, the offense never quite found its rhythm and a rough eighth inning for Kutter Crawford gave Minnesota another rally and ultimately put the game away.
