BOSTON (AP) — Mookie Betts ended a series of late rallies with a home run that cleared Fenway Park and set off another celebration in Boston.
Betts led off the bottom of the 10th with a shot well over the Green Monster to lift the Boston Red Sox past the Minnesota Twins 4-3 on Friday night.
“Fortunately, I got enough of a good pitch to hit and got it up in the air,” Betts said after his first game-ending home run.
Betts homer capped a wild last few innings. The Twins rallied from a 2-1 deficit to take a one-run lead in the top of the ninth.
