Twins utility man Eduardo Escobar went deep on Wednesday for his third home run of the season. Escobar took Alexi Ogando out of the park for a two-run shot in the ninth inning, but it wasn't enough as the Red Sox took Game 1 of the doubleheader by a score of 6-3.
Escobar, who started at third base but moved to left field, homered for the first time since May 6. It was his only hit of the game, and he now has just six hits in 32 at-bats over his last 10 games.
