The Boston Red Sox brought the 🔥 to Target Field on Sunday, crushing the Minnesota Twins 9-2 and snapping their impressive 12-game winning streak! ⚾️
After a rough patch with three straight losses (ouch 😬), including two to the Twins, the Red Sox were hungry for a comeback. They hadn't hit a single home run in their previous three wins, but all that changed in this electrifying game. ⚡️
Ceddanne Rafaela broke the home run drought in style! Facing a full count against Joe Ryan in the fifth inning, Rafaela smashed the ball into the left-center-field seats for a two-run homer, putting the Sox ahead 3-1. Talk about clutch! 💪
\"I was just focusing to hit the ball and then good things happen,\" Rafaela said with a smile after the game. 😄
The excitement didn't stop there. Rafael Devers joined the party in the ninth inning, launching another two-run homer to seal the deal. Between their explosive bats, Vaughn Grissom and Dominic Smith each added two runs, stretching the Red Sox's lead to a dominating 7-1. 🎉
\"Losing two out of three here stinks, but winning this one is very gratifying,\" said manager Alex Cora. \"It took a total team effort.\" 🤝
With this victory, the Red Sox not only ended the Twins' hot streak but also reignited their own momentum. Let's see where this energy takes them next! 🚀
