Faulty Base Running Costs Twins in 3-2 Loss to Red Sox
Minnesota blew a chance to tie when Cesar Tovar hesitated on a crucial eighth inning play as Boston won 3-2. Billy Martin faulted Tovar for not dashing home sooner after Carl Yastrzemski’s error and Mike Ryan’s miscue, while Tovar and teammates offered different recollections. The Red Sox built a 2-0 lead on Yastrzemski’s two homers and a squeeze bunt by Mike Ryan. The Twins, who cut the lead with two eighth inning runs, head into a 16 game home stand against the California Angels starting Friday.
