The Boston Red Sox hosted the Minnesota Twins for a three-game series at Fenway Park, which was a good chance for the team to get back on track.

However, Boston lost all three games at home, which included a heartbreaking loss on Sunday, as Isiah Kiner-Falefa hit a double off the wall, but Connor Wong was thrown out at the plate, which would have been the tying run.

Following the loss, Kiner-Falefa admitted being swept hurts, but Boston remains in the playoff race, which gives the team confidence.

“To get swept here definitely hurts,” Kiner-Falefa said postgame on Sunday. “We feel it and as a group we really want to make our fanbase proud.

“We’ve got to find a way to stack some wins together at home and get back in the race. … It’s tough, but you look at the standings and somehow, we’re still in it. I think that helps a lot.”

The Red Sox fell to 22-30 on the season, but despite being eight games under .500, Boston is just 3.5 games back of a Wild Card spot.

Boston will look to get back on track on Tuesday with a three-game home series against the Atlanta Braves, who are one of the top teams in the MLB.
