Given how the Twins are now fighting for their playoff lives and all of the chances that the Red Sox had to win the game at historic Fenway Park and how they managed to fan so many Red Sox hitters, it was a really good win. No, they weren't dominating, but a beaten down team was resilient enough to get the job done. 

It looks to me that the Red Sox are equally beaten down, which is a break for the Twins. Hopefully, they will win another game or two in Fenway. Also, the Twins are less than a game behind the Royals. Another chance to advance to the #2 wild card.

I'd be fine in #3.  I think I'd rather go to Houston than Baltimore, or God forbid, the Bronx.

Playing the O's at the end of the season, then turning right around and playing them again would suck.

I agree if Twins get in, i want to play Houston or Baltimore.

Wonder if Diego Castillo or Josh Winder will be back tomorrow for bullpen.  Alcala cannot come back correct unless injury replacement. Wondering if they would consider adding Boushley or Okert back and have an ailment for someone to go on 60 day IL I would option Miranda he seems to be having vision issues, weird blinking,  maybe check for concusion symptoms or some ailment. Something off with Miranda. He might need a DL stint.

Heck of a game from this pitching staff, considering they gave up only 2 runs when the Sox had 3 innings with a runner at 2nd to start. They won this game.

And the second run we didn't really care about, being too little or too late.

Winder was on the IL for the Saints. Two rehabbing pitchers threw for the Saints last night (both with poor results)--Topa and Funderburk.

So not a lot of options. Castillo or Boushley, or one of the DFA guys Richard's or Okert, if they do make a move. Kepler's knee must still be bugging him. I saw that Funderburk and Topa got shelled.
