Minnesota Wins Again, 3-2
The Minnesota Twins moved to within one game of the League Championship today, downing the Boston Red Sox on the road at Fenway Park by a score of 3-2. Twins right-hander Juan Moutoso had a strong outing. He threw 6.1 innings allowing 1 runs. The win gives the Twins a 2-0 advantage in the best-of-5 Division Series.

Minnesota used a well-timed hit by Aaron Schunk to capture the win. The third baseman socked a run-scoring double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Twins ahead, 2-1. Though it was his only hit in 2 at-bats, it was important.

"We put it together today and came out with the win," Schunk said in postgame remarks. "That's the main thing."

The next game is set to be played for Saturday, October 11th , 2031 at Target Field in Minneapolis.
