BOSTON — The upstart first-place Minnesota Twins, fresh off a three-game road sweep of the Cleveland Indians that included two shutouts, roar into Fenway Park for a four-game series that opens Monday night with a marquee pitching matchup.
Jose Berrios, who has won seven of his eight 2017 starts, goes against Red Sox ace Chris Sale in the series opener.
It was just last weekend that the Twins lost all four games at home to those Indians, who moved into first place in the American League Central. But Minnesota’s 4-0 win behind Ervin Santana on Sunday completed the sweep in Cleveland — by a combined 13-2 — and moved the Twins back into first place.
