Larnach matches career high with 4 hits, Twins beat Red Sox 4-2 for 9th win in 13 games

Larnach had three singles and a double.
Boston had five hits and dropped to 2-20 when scoring two runs or fewer.
Making his first start since going on the IL May 9 with right pectoralis muscle inflammation, Bradley (5-1) gave up three hits with seven strikeouts and two walks. He threw the fastest pitch of his big league career, a 100.3 mph offering to Contreras in the fourth.
Taylor Rogers got Jarren Duran to strike out looking for the final out with the bases loaded for his second save.
After a comeback win in Friday's series opener, the Twins took a 2-0 lead in the first against opener Jovani Morán (0-2) on Austin Martin's RBI single and Josh Bell's sacrifice fly.
Ceddanne Rafaela’s fourth-inning RBI double on the plate Contreras was thrown out cut Boston’s deficit in half.
Caratini's sacrifice fly and Orlando Arcia's run-scoring single off the glove of pitcher Brayan Bello, who tried to backhand a grounder, boosted the lead to 4-1 in the fifth.
