Bregman's HR, Devers' 2-RBI single help Red Sox beat Twins 6-1 as Casas hurts
knee

BOSTON (AP) --- Rafael Devers broke a seventh-inning tie with a two-run single
and the Boston Red Sox defeated the Minnesota Twins 6-1 on Friday night as
Triston Casas appeared to sustain a serious left knee injury.
Casas left the game due to a lower-body injury in the second inning and was
replaced by Romy Gonzalez. The 25-year-old first baseman fell awkwardly while
trying to beat out a slow roller up the first-base line and was carried off on
a stretcher.
Boston's David Hamilton finished three hits with two stolen bases while Alex
Bregman homered as part of a two-hit night. Gonzalez doubled in a run as part
of a three-run eighth.
Bregman hit a home run in the first inning, his eighth of the season to give
the Red Sox a 1-0 lead.
Ryan Jeffers hit a solo shot for Minnesota in the top of the third. Louis
Varland (1-3) took the loss after allowing back-to-back hits in the seventh.
Boston starter Brayan Bello gave up a run on four hits over 6 2/3 innings and
was replaced Justin Wilson (1-0). Two two pitches later, Edouard Julien was
caught stealing second to end the top of the seventh and Greg Weissert took
over for Wilson to start the eighth.
The Red Sox finished with 13 hits and has recorded at least 10 hit in a game 11
times this season --- all wins.
Key moment In the seventh with runners on second and third, the Twins summoned left-handed reliever Danny Coulombe to face Jarren Duran and Devers, both lefties. After Coulombe got Duran swinging for the second out of the inning, Devers hit a two-RBI single that put Boston up for good.
Key stat Red Sox starters have sixth consecutive quality starts, the club's longest streak since 2017.
