It looked pretty dim this afternoon in the bottom of the 10th inning at Fenway Park. After
John Lackey (nine scoreless) and
Kyle Gibson (seven scoreless) had dueled in the sun, the Twinkies broke through on
Koji Uehara with a semi-cheap HR to right. Advantage Twins—1-0. Then, in a miraculous bottom of the 10th,
David Ortiz launched his 16th HR of the year down the right field line inside
The Pesky Pole for a 1-1 tie. One batter later,
Mike Napoli sent the game-winning, walk-off HR to straightaway center field for
the 2-1 victory. These were the second and third hits by
The Carmine Hose all day. So, Boston scored a grand total of five runs in three games—and
swept Minnesota in the process. That's some kind of efficient scoring! Now, on the road again.
