The Minnesota Twins sealed their series win against the Boston Red Sox with a 8-0 shutout continuing their streak of positive energy at the new Target Field in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Minnesota Twins fans were delighted by the first victory their home team put together at the brand new Target Field. Their enthusiasm hasn’t abated; the team continued delivering outstanding performances at the cost of the Red Sox.
The Twins now boast three consecutive winning series, creating an amazing start to their season. The team is now on a long-drawn white-hot streak that started with their victories against the LA Angels and the White Sox, and the story only continues with their success against the Red Sox.
One of the key ingredients to the Twins’ success has been their stand up pool of pitchers including closing pitcher Jon Rauch. Rauch has saved five of the last five games he has pitched and Fransisco Lariano pitched seven scoreless innings.
The Red Sox had a rough day at home plate and only had four hits during the entire game. They scored no runs and their pitching was less than impressive.
Red Sox manager Terry Francona published a statement about their struggle on the team website, “Not a very good day. We had a chance in the first inning to get on the board, and Liriano started throwing that slider, and it looked like he got more comfortable as he got into the game.”
Boston’s next match up will be at home against Tampa Bay while the Minnesota Twins will try to keep their winning streak alive at home against Kansas City.
