The Red Sox left Monday's tough loss in the past and rode an early lead to an easy victory Tuesday night at Target Field. They're 58-51.

Trevor Story homered, doubled and drove in three runs, Lucas Giolito pitched six strong innings, and the Boston Red Sox beat the Minnesota Twins 8-5.

Ceddanne Rafaela’s one-out triple was his first extra-base hit since the All-Star break, and at 394 feet, would have been a homer in six ballparks. He became the first player to touch home, thanks to an RBI single by new Red Sox leadoff man Roman Anthony.
