Red Sox Struggle to Capitalize in 4-3 Loss to Twins
BOSTON — The rain-delayed game on Saturday saw the Boston Red Sox rally in the seventh inning, only to fall short against the Minnesota Twins, ending the night with a 4-3 defeat. After a 72-minute pause, the Red Sox grabbed momentum, cutting the Twins’ lead to a single run, but failed to capitalize on multiple scoring opportunities throughout the game.
Boston recorded an impressive 12 hits and two walks but only managed to push three runs across home plate. Rafael Devers led the charge with a strong performance, going 3-for-5 with two RBIs, while Romy Gonzalez also added three hits. In contrast, Minnesota’s Kody Clemens delivered a decisive two-run homer during a pivotal sixth inning, securing the win for the Twins despite recording fewer hits.
Hunter Dobbins, making just his third MLB start, struggled on the mound, allowing four earned runs over 5.2 innings. While he showed promise, Dobbins noted, "I didn’t have my best stuff" during the outing. Despite the loss, the Red Sox have consistently kept their starters in games, which may serve them well as the season progresses.
