The Boston Red Sox's 9 game winning streak came to an end on Thursday afternoon, April 15th when they fell to the Minnesota Twins 4-3 on a walk-off hit in the 9th inning.
During the winning streak the Red Sox came from behind 6 of 9 times. Thursday they staked the Twins to a 2-0 lead and were trailing 3-0 when Alex Verdugo tied the game with a bases loaded 2-out triple to tied the score.
But Adam Ottavino, pitching the 9th inning allowed 2 hits, and walked 1 and gave up the winning run. Ottavino took the loss and is 1-1 on the season.
