Minnesota Hands Boston 4-2 Loss
The Minnesota Twins moved to within one game of the League Championship Series, downing the visiting Boston Red Sox at Target Field by a score of 4-2. Twins right-hander Jace Stoffal had a strong outing in which he threw 7.1 innings of 4-hit ball. The win gives the Twins a 2-0 advantage in the best-of-5 Division Series.

Stoffal was effective for Minnesota, seldom allowing the Red Sox to square up a pitch. The right-hander tossed 94 pitches over 7.1 innings. He limited Boston to just 1 run on 4 hits.

"Jace pitched like a champ," said Minnesota manager Ryan Ranta.

Game 3 is scheduled for Tuesday at Fenway Park in Boston.
