Twins Earn Win with Late Rally
The Minnesota Twins faced a tough opponent in Boston pitcher Wade Miley, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Fenway Park by a final score of 4-3. Miley went 7 innings and allowed 2 runs. Reliever Nick Mikolajchak picked up the win. His record improves to 2-0. Aroldis Chapman, who is tied for 2nd in the AL in holds with 24, took the loss. The Minnesota win streak is now 3 games.

Minnesota won the game in part because of Hunter Renfroe. The right fielder ripped a 2-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Twins ahead, 4-2. For the game, Renfroe had 1 double and 1 home run in 4 at-bats.

Renfroe called the win "a team effort."
