Alex Speier @alexspeier · 8h Verdugo tried to take an extra base that wasn't there on a hit to right-center. He got thrown out at second by plenty for the second out of the inning. Red Sox have given away two outs on the bases in the last two innings.

Pete Abraham @peteabe · 6h (1/2) A few #RedSox updates:
* Reese McGuire likely to go on the IL * David Hamilton will start Thursday. * Brandon Walter will pitch, likely following Justin Garza. * They'll need a 26-man roster move for Walter, but he was already on the 40-man.
(2/2) * They'll need a catcher and don't have any on the 40-man. @chriscotillo has them calling up former Twin Caleb Hamilton, who was a waiver claim in October.
Hamilton has hit .174/.281/.306 in AAA and is 1x18 with 14 Ks in the majors. But the one hit was a HR.

Red Sox @ Twins Thursday, June 22nd 1pm @ Target Field
Garza ( opener)
Ryan 7-4/ 3.30
Twins look to salvage split against Red Sox FLM
After snapping a three-game losing steak in dramatic fashion, the Minnesota Twins aim for a split of their four-game series against the Boston Red Sox on Thursday in Minneapolis.
Minnesota had dropped five of its last six games before emerging with a 10-inning, 5-4 victory on Wednesday. Max Kepler homered for the second straight game and Kyle Farmer delivered a walk-off single to end Boston's six-game winning streak.
"That was a good fight from our guys," Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said. "We did some big things and we did a lot of little things, as well. I was really pleased with the way our guys went out there and pitched and played and defended and did basically everything today."
Kepler is 7-for-18 (.389) against the Red Sox this year, recording two doubles and three home runs in those contests.
After outscoring opponents 50-18 during its win streak, Boston went 3-for-15 with runners in scoring position during the Wednesday loss.
Red Sox designated hitter Justin Turner homered among his two hits and drove in two runs. Turner has hit .432 (19-for-44) with four home runs and 14 RBIs over his past 11 games.
Alex Verdugo is 20-for-53 (.377) during a 12-game hitting streak for Boston, which will likely be without Reese McGuire in the series finale. The catcher strained a right oblique muscle during a swing in the sixth inning on Wednesday.
"It looks like he's gonna be on the (injured list)," Red Sox manager Alex Cora said. "We're gonna see what we're gonna do."
Boston is expected to have right-hander Justin Garza (0-1, 3.46 ERA) serve as the opener in front of left-hander Brandon Walter in the series finale. Walter, 26, would be making his major league debut.
One of the team's top prospects, Walter has gone 1-5 with a 6.28 ERA in 13 games (12 starts) at Triple-A Worcester this season. He posted a 3.48 ERA with 13 strikeouts in his last two outings covering 10 1/3 innings.
"Season's been up and down for me, obviously, but I feel good," Walter said. "I think my best innings have been the most recent ones. I feel confident coming into this, and hopefully just help this team win."
The Red Sox protected Walter from the Rule 5 draft after adding him to the team's 40-man roster last November.
Minnesota will counter with right-hander Joe Ryan (7-4, 3.30 ERA), who allowed a season-high six runs over seven innings in a 7-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers on Friday.
"I felt pretty good out of the gate and made some pitches, maybe wrong spot at the wrong time," Ryan said. "Happens and they got some weak hits and then some big hits, strung those together."
Ryan, 27, has allowed 16 runs over his past four outings covering 23 2/3 innings (6.08 ERA).
Ryan is 2-1 with a 4.76 ERA in three career starts vs. Boston. He last faced the Red Sox on April 19, when he gave up three runs over six innings in a 10-4 victory. Enrique Hernandez homered against him in that game.

The Sox still have a chance to take three of four in Minnesota if they can close out the series with a win in Thursday’s matinee (first pitch at 1:10 p.m.) Justin Garza will serve as the opener, and is expected to be followed by lefthander Brandon Walter, would would be making his major league debut.

Alex Speier @alexspeier · 11m Cora said Pivetta wasn’t a consideration to start/open. The Sox love how he’s throwing out of the bullpen and feel they need at least 2 multi-inning options at any point, with Winckowski and Pivetta in that role.

Sox with another defensive mistake. Duvall's throw to third was too late to get the runner and Castro took second with nobody covering the base to take a throw from Devers.
And a two-run double naturally follows. 4-0 Twins.

Alex Speier @alexspeier · 1m There it is. Flyout by Yoshida. Complete-game shutout for Joe Ryan in a 6-0 Twins win over the Red Sox.
This was the first complete-game shutout against the Red Sox since Sean Manaea's no-hitter on April 21, 2018.

Red Sox shut out by Twins’ Joe Ryan; Brandon Walter goes 6.2 innings in debut
Published: Jun. 22, 2023, 3:26 p.m.

MINNEAPOLIS — Scrambling to fill Tanner Houck’s spot in the starting rotation, the Red Sox turned to the inexperienced combination of Justin Garza and Brandon Walter on Thursday against the Twins. Despite an impressive performance from Walter, the plan didn’t work thanks to a career day for Twins starter Joe Ryan.
Garza and Walter were tagged for six early runs and Ryan pitched a complete game shutout as the Twins blanked the Red Sox, 6-0, to force a split of a four-game series between the teams at Target Field. Minnesota hit three long home runs and the Sox were shut out for the third time this season as they fell to 39-37. Ryan was brilliant, striking out nine batters and allowing just three hits. He threw 110 pitches.
Despite a rocky start, Walter settled down and turned in a solid MLB debut. He went 6 ⅔ relief innings, allowing just three runs on six hits in that span. The lefty struck out two and walked three batters; he received a no decision.
Minnesota tagged Garza, who made his first MLB start as an opener, with two early blasts. With one out in the first, Carlos Correa took launch with a 418-ft. homer, only for Byron Buxton to outdo him two batters later with a 466-ft. solo homer. In the second, Garza gave up a leadoff single to Ryan Jeffers, then was lifted for Walter, who gave up two runs when Michael A. Taylor hit a two-run double to left that made it a 4-0 game.
Another mammoth Buxton blast (465 ft.) made it 5-0 in the third. Royce Lewis made it a six-run game when he drove in Kyle Farmer with an RBI single in the fifth.
Hamilton gets first career hit
Shortstop David Hamilton, who was called up and made his MLB debut Wednesday, knocked a single off Ryan in the eighth inning for his first career hit.
Reyes leaves game
Second baseman Pablo Reyes was lifted for the game and replaced with Kiké Hernández in the bottom of the fourth inning. Reyes had been dealing with abdominal soreness in recent days but it’s unclear if that recurred Thursday.
White Sox up next
The Red Sox will travel to Chicago on Thursday night and face the White Sox for a three-game series that begins Friday at Guaranteed Rate Field. Here’s the schedule (and pitching probables):
Friday, 8:10 p.m. ET — RHP Brayan Bello (4-4, 3.49 ERA) vs. RHP Lucas Giolito (5-4, 3.54 ERA)
Saturday, 4:10 p.m. ET — LHP James Paxton (3-1, 3.29 ERA) vs. RHP Lance Lynn (4-8, 6.51 ERA)
Sunday, 2:10 p.m. ET — RHP Kutter Crawford (2-3, 3.74 ERA) vs. TBD
