Sox fall to Twins in Grapefruit Opener

The Twins took down the Red Sox 5-2 in the first game of the Mayor’s Cup. Not much offense to speak of on the Sox’ part, managing only two runs, though they did get the tying run to the plate in the 9th but couldn’t get the one big hit.

The Mayor’s Cup is a friendly Spring competition between the two teams in Fort Myers, the Red Sox and Twins. The winner of the Spring series takes home the Cup, and in the event of a tie the winner from the previous year would win. The Red Sox won last year.

The rest of the Mayor’s Cup games are on Sunday March 1, Tuesday March 17, and Saturday March 28. All three games will be on MLB.TV
