The elation in the Minnesota dugout after Chris Parmelee broke a scoreless tie on a solo homer in the 10th inning didn’t last long. Seemingly on the verge of ending a four-game losing streak, the Twins instead lost their fifth in a row when Boston’s David Ortiz and Mike Napoli delivered back-to-back homers off Casey Fien and the Red Sox won it 2-1 Wednesday.

Brock Holt scored both Boston runs, and Jon Lester weathered a shaky start and pitched six-plus strong innings as the Red Sox held off the Minnesota Twins 2-1 on Tuesday night.

If anyone needed a game-winning hit in extra innings, it was Aaron Hicks. The once-prized Minnesota Twins prospect stroked an RBI single in the bottom of the 10th and Phil Hughes struck out eight in six innings to help beat the Boston Red Sox 4-3 in the series finale on Thursday.

David Ortiz insists he doesn't want to participate in the Home Run Derby when the All-Star Game comes to Target Field this summer, saying it would be too much for his 38-year-old body to handle. Instead, he's holding his own personal home run derby here in May.

After what Chris Parmelee has been through the last six weeks, he’ll savor this home run for a while. Parmelee hit a game-ending shot in the ninth inning and the Minnesota Twins overcame David Ortiz’s big night to beat the Boston Red Sox 8-6 on Tuesday.
