Sean Murphy made an impact in the 9-5 Boston win over Minnesota. Murphy, who finished 2nd in the AL in wins above replacement with 7.2 last year, was 3-4 with 3 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Boston pitcher Ben Lively got the win. He's now 5-9. Gerrit Cole was tagged with the loss. After today's action, Boston sits at 56-54, while Minnesota falls to 58-51.

Boston third baseman Brendan Donovan contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the second. With two down, he hit a changeup to right-center field for a run-scoring single. It was his 111st hit of the season and put the Red Sox ahead, 2-0.

"The boys came out and just played their butts off," said Boston manager Chris L.
