The Red Sox earned a split of their first two games against the Minnesota Twins on Saturday with a 4-0 win behind a couple of loud homers from Xander Boegarts and Alex Verdugo and an outstanding outing from Tanner Houck. After losing three of four to start the year, the Sox have won three of their last four and are back at .500 with a chance to inch above it and clinch at least a tie in the series on Sunday.
Twins starter Sonny Gray didn’t last long on Saturday and exited the game with two outs in the second because of some hamstring soreness.
