In a game that seemed to follow a distressing trend, Max Kepler turned it around with a three-run, walk-off home run in the bottom of the 10th inning to push the Minnesota Twins over the top, 7-4.
That gave the Twins a much-needed jolt to salvage the final game of this three-game series over Boston, after losing the first two by a combined 23-5 score.
Starter Pat Dean pitched well enough for a win, though some poor fielding in the 8th inning cost him a chance at that.
Dean walked two of the first three batters in the 7th inning with a 4-1 lead, and seemed to be laboring.
