Twins 8, Red Sox 4
Joe Mauer's bunt with runners on first and second and nobody out in
the ninth inning scored the winning run for Minnesota after an error
at third base in the series finale.
Mauer's bunt dribbled in front of catcher Blake Swihart, who picked
it up and fired to Pablo Sandoval at third, but the ball rolled
under his glove into left field, allowing Brian Dozier to score.
