00:01Bailey over here tonight.
00:02Made his last start against the Detroit Tigers right here at Target Field.
00:06Picked up his first win.
00:07Five and two-thirds, five hits.
00:09One walk, two strikeouts.
00:11Should be a good matchup for Bailey tonight.
00:13The Boston Red Sox struggle against off-speed pitches.
00:15Bailey over.
00:16Good changeup.
00:18We'll keep an eye on that fastball velocity and that changeup and kind of that combination,
00:23I think, if he can be effective with those two, he should have a good night tonight.
00:26Roman Anthony digs in.
00:28Off to a slow start.
00:29He's DH-ing tonight, hitting just 200.
00:31Eye and deep to left center.
00:33Buxton on the move and with room on the warning track.
00:36And Anthony has been doing that.
00:38You look at his swing playing so far this season.
00:40The opposite field, balls in the air.
00:42That percentage is up so far.
00:44And over struck him out with a sweeper in the high 70s.
00:48So three pitches and Durbin is out number two.
00:52Jaron Duran rolls it weakly to Keyshaugh.
00:54He'll pick it up and throws out the hustling left fielder.
00:57Garrett Crochet, you said it, coming off a really good start.
01:00Two and one with a 3-1, two ERA.
01:02You've got to think that's on its way down.
01:03And here is Austin Martin.
01:05Gold fair down the left field line for Austin Martin on his way to second base.
01:09And now Duran drops the ball.
01:11And no play at second.
01:12So Martin ready to go right away, coming off a good series in Toronto, having a great season.
01:18And he's at second base here in a scoreless first inning.
01:20So here now Luke Keyshaugh, batting from the right side.
01:23Crochet has never seen this hitter.
01:26Keyshaugh waits and the 2-1 pitch to third.
01:28And that's fair.
01:30Snuck inside the left field line.
01:32Martin scores.
01:33And Keyshaugh will stop at second base.
01:35Another quick start.
01:37It is 1-0 Twins, three batters in.
01:39If the infield's not playing in there, that probably isn't going to sneak by Durbin over there at third.
01:47Another sweeper that we pulled down the left field line for an extra base hit.
01:51So not a good start at all for the Red Sox.
01:53Hitter's going to be Ryan Jeffers.
01:55Keyshaugh taking off for third base.
01:57And Jeffers lines it to left field.
01:59And that is a fair ball.
02:01Keyshaugh scores.
02:02And Jeffers hangs out at first base.
02:04And the Twins have a 2-0 lead, three consecutive hits.
02:09Yeah, and there's a clear plan at the plate from Minnesota.
02:12And you can see it.
02:13They know they're getting pitches into them.
02:15And they are selling out to cutters, sweepers, fastball, everything on the inner half.
02:19And even in off the plate.
02:20This is uncharted territory for Garrett Crochet in a Red Sox unit.
02:25Now the Twins have the bases loaded for Brooks Lee.
02:29Ground ball up the middle.
02:30And a diving stop made by Story.
02:32Shovels off Mark at second base.
02:34One run scores.
02:35Heading home is Caratini.
02:37He scores standing.
02:38And the Twins now lean at 4-0.
02:40A disastrous first inning for Crochet in the Red Sox.
02:44Trevor tried to make a play here to save the inning, get that force out at second.
02:47And it's just a play.
02:47He cannot try to make this glove flip, flipping his body over like that.
02:52I mean, you have to be perfect.
02:53It would have been an outrageous play for him to do.
02:56But it cost the team another run.
02:58Now Garrett Crochet threw 31 pitches in a four-run first inning.
03:02Three of the four runs earned.
03:04He faces Buxton for the second time.
03:06To two.
03:07Up the middle and into center field.
03:09So no, Buxton now with a 10-game hitting streak against the Red Sox.
03:13He's reached base safely in the last 15 against Boston.
03:16And the Twins have elite speed on.
03:18Buxton runs.
03:19The pitch is ball four.
03:21And so Buxton is at second.
03:24And Martin draws a walk.
03:25And Crochet's 3-0 pitch.
03:27Not close.
03:28You know, Perk, you talk about having him on the ropes here.
03:30I mean, my goodness.
03:31The bases are loaded again.
03:33Amazing.
03:34And they're full for Ryan Jeffers.
03:36Hard shot.
03:36Left field base hit.
03:38Buxton scores.
03:39Martin rounding third.
03:40He'll be held.
03:41Anthony has struggled with his throwing this year.
03:42But that's Durant and left.
03:44It's the second RBI single of the game for Ryan Jeffers.
03:47And the Twins lead at 5-0.
03:49Now Josh Bell with a blast.
03:50High and deep to right center field.
03:52This one back towards the wall.
03:53And it's off the wall.
03:55One run scores.
03:56Coming home and scoring is Keyshawn.
03:59Jeffers to third.
04:00The Twins are crushing Garrett Crochet here tonight.
04:03This is shocking.
04:05You just don't see this from Garrett Crochet.
04:06Typically, you know, you're going to have outings where you're struggling.
04:08You're able to make in-game adjustments.
04:10Which is just not there tonight.
04:12Infield in for Victor Caratini.
04:14A swing and a drive.
04:15Left field and deep.
04:16Back it goes.
04:17And that is way out of here.
04:20Three-run homer from Victor Caratini.
04:23It is 10-0 at target field.
04:26I did not have that on my bingo card today.
04:28No.
04:28This has just been hard to watch.
04:31Garrett Crochet knocked all over the ballpark tonight in two innings.
04:35Two down for Ryan Cridler.
04:37Ryan Cridler.
04:38Welcome to Twins territory.
04:39He hit the facing of the third deck as well.
04:43And 11-0 Minnesota.
04:45That's it for Crochet.
04:46Alex Cora is coming out.
04:47Garrett looks furious.
04:49And plain and simple, he did not have it tonight.
04:52Hawk and his bullpen can rest for now.
04:55An 11-0 lead for Ober.
04:57We're in the third.
04:58So, still a long ways to go.
05:00Lined into right.
05:01On the move.
05:02Walner.
05:02It's over his head.
05:03That'll skip it up against the fence.
05:05He's going to take two and he's into second base with a double.
05:08Red Sox have their first hit off Bailey over tonight.
05:11Here now Caleb Durbin is mired in a long slump to start this season.
05:16Line drive.
05:17That's a fair ball down the line.
05:19That'll bring a run in.
05:20Anthony will score.
05:23Durbin smoking that one.
05:25They exchange places and he has driven his sixth run of the year.
05:30Good job there by Durbin.
05:32And here now, Jaron Duran.
05:333-2.
05:34That one driven high and deep right field.
05:36That's way back there.
05:37That ball's gone.
05:39Jaron Duran, his first home run of the year.
05:41A two-run shot.
05:42Some signs of life for the Red Sox.
05:45It is 11-3.
05:47A big spoonful right there.
05:48I'll tell you what, we'll take it.
05:50Top of the order again, Byron Buxton.
05:52He led off the first, led off the second.
05:55As Buxton swings and sends it high and deep to right center field,
05:58Raffaella going back to the wall, and that is gone.
06:01And there it is.
06:02The all-time target field home run leader is Byron Buxton.
06:06Byron Buxton straightaway center field for his first of the year at 12-3 Minnesota.
06:15That's a cross for strike three, but he wants to challenge it.
06:20Previous pitch was called a strike.
06:22I caught that catch in the bottom of the zone.
06:23He continues to walk up the first base line.
06:26McCall has confirmed the pitch a strike.
06:28There's a strike.
06:29That's a little embarrassing.
06:30You keep walking up the line.
06:32You're that confident.
06:33Yeah.
06:34And no, I guess I got that one.
06:36Ryan Jeffers has been perfect tonight.
06:39Two singles and a walk.
06:40Ryan Jeffers has been on three more times tonight.
06:43And the 1-1 is hammered.
06:44A laser to left towards the bleachers.
06:47And the Twins go deep again.
06:49Second this season for Jeffers.
06:51The Twins have been four as a team tonight.
06:53And the lead is back up to ten.
06:54Top of the sixth.
06:55Wilson Contreras batting 13-3.
06:58And a broken back ground ball up the middle.
07:00That'll be a base hit.
07:01No play for Keyshawn.
07:03Lobbed into right field.
07:05Wander coming on.
07:06It's down for a base hit.
07:07Right.
07:07So that snaps an 0-4-11 for Abreu.
07:10First and second for the Red Sox.
07:11A couple of hits here on the sixth.
07:12Here's Trevor Story.
07:13He's 0-4-2.
07:14The ground ball up the middle for a single.
07:16Contreras in the third.
07:17They're going to wave him in.
07:19Buxton will lob it back to the infield.
07:21And the Red Sox had another run.
07:23Three consecutive hits.
07:23Trevor Story with his 12th run batted in.
07:26To make it 13-4.
07:27Grounded back to over.
07:29He'll go to second for one.
07:30Brooks Lee.
07:31Double play.
07:32Narvaez 0-4-2.
07:34Ground out in a strikeout.
07:35He struck him out.
07:37And Bailey over with seven strikeouts through six here tonight.
07:42Twins leading big.
07:43And it's Eric Orzean to face number nine hitter.
07:45Satan Raffaella.
07:46Is this ball lined to left center field?
07:48That's where Buck hangs out.
07:48And that's out number one.
07:50And he'll take ball four.
07:52On base three times tonight.
07:531-2.
07:54Hammer.
07:55Tore the hole and threw for a base hit.
07:57Caleb Durbin with a multi-hit game.
07:58Anthony up to second.
07:59But here's the dangerous Boston Red Sox.
08:03You know, if this is a closer game,
08:05you've got to be aware of this offense that's coming to life right now.
08:09Andrew Monasterio is going to hit for Contreras.
08:12Line drive and a left field sinking down for a base hit.
08:15That'll chase in another run.
08:17Roman Anthony will score.
08:19Red Sox make it a 13-5 game.
08:22Monasterio off the bench and tears into one.
08:24Hardest job to do in the big leagues.
08:26Coming off the bench and being able to produce consistently.
08:29Putting together good at-bats.
08:31You have to be able to take advantage of the situation.
08:33You're not going to get a ton of them.
08:34Two on for Abreu.
08:35A lot of fun.
08:36Line drive and a base hit into right center field.
08:38Another one will score.
08:40Durbin is in.
08:41Down to third.
08:43Monasterio.
08:43Base hit for Abreu.
08:44And he has come back to life after a bit of a skid.
08:47Another RBI.
08:49It's 13-6 with runners at the corners.
08:53I pop into right.
08:55Coming on Walner to make the play.
08:57He's got it.
08:58Top of the ninth.
08:59Top of the order for the Boston Red Sox.
09:02Roman Anthony.
09:02Caleb Durbin.
09:03Jaron Duran.
09:04Against Garrett Acton.
09:05It's going to be ball four.
09:09Challenging.
09:10Challenge here from the Twins.
09:11It's down.
09:12Roman marching up the first baseline as we look at the ABS.
09:16And it did miss.
09:18So it is ball four.
09:20He's on again.
09:22And there's strike three.
09:24The Twins are worn out away from shaking hands to celebrate a series opening win over the Red Sox.
09:30Monasterio drove it like he meant it last time.
09:32A base hit.
09:33Bring in a run.
09:34Swing and a miss.
09:35And this one is over.
09:37And the Twins put up 13 runs and stay red hot.
09:41And take care of the Red Sox 13-6.
09:43Not a great night at all for the Red Sox.
09:46Garrett Crochet.
09:47The worst start of his brilliant career.
09:50And this thing got ugly early.
09:53And right now the writers are rushing to the Red Sox clubhouse to find out exactly what the heck happened
09:59tonight with Garrett Crochet.
