Gibson makes strong start in Twins' loss to Red Sox
The Boston Red Sox used a pair of three-run homers to top the Minnesota Twins in a 7-2 Grapefruit League win Sunday.
Twins starter Kyle Gibson struck out four and gave up four hits in six scoreless innings.
Brian Dozier was called out on a headfirst slide home in the first inning that would likely have been overturned in the regular season.
After a trio of walks, Joe Mauer drove in Jorge Polanco on a single in the bottom of the sixth inning to break a stalemate.
The Red Sox's Christian Vazquez hit a three-run homer after two walks on Ryan Pressly in the seventh inning to take the lead.
The Twins' Brian Dozier responded with an RBI single to score Eddie Rosario, but the rally stopped there.
Minnesota's Buddy Boshers gave up two homers in the eighth inning, a solo shot by Andrew Benintendi and Steve Selsky's three-run bomb.
