MINNEAPOLIS -- Rookie Max Kepler's first career homer was a big one, as he launched a walk-off three-run blast off the batter's eye in center field in the 10th inning to lift the Twins to a 7-4 win over the Red Sox on Sunday at Target Field.
After Brian Dozier singled with one out to move Joe Mauer to third base, the Red Sox went with a five-man infield behind right-hander Matt Barnes. But Kepler made sure it didn't matter, as he crushed an 0-2 fastball a projected 434 feet, per Statcast™.
