The game had plenty of fireworks, including three home runs by Twins first baseman Miguel Sanó. His third, a two-run homer to right-center, tied the score at 4 in the eighth.
Left fielder Jake Lamb and catcher Yasmani Grandal homered for the Sox. But it was a home run from Monday that set the stage for two ejections Tuesday. Twins reliever Tyler Duffey threw a pitch behind Sox designated hitter Yermín Mercedes’ legs in the seventh. Duffey and Twins manager Rocco Baldelli were ejected.
