The Red Sox suffered an utterly brutal loss in Minnesota on Monday... and had to wait through a 90-minute ninth-inning rain delay to do so.

After thunderstorms forced a 90-minute rain delay in the ninth inning, Jordan Hicks blew the save in one of the Red Sox's most disappointing losses of the season.

Hicks earned the save in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Dodgers, logging a strikeout and a walk across 1.2 scoreless innings.

MINNEAPOLIS — With the Red Sox just three outs away from a potential 4-3 win over the Minnesota Twins, the threat of heavy rain and the potential for lightning forced a delay in the game in the middle of the ninth.

MLB insider Jim Callis believes the Boston Red Sox are going to let go of minor-league position players, while holding onto pitchers, at the trade deadline.

Aroldis Chapman, the Boston Red Sox’ All-Star closer, left Sunday’s game with an injury, but his teammates stepped up to help close out the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-3 to take the weekend series from the reigning World Series champions.

The Red Sox might find themselves short on bullpen arms in Monday’s series opener against the Twins, in part because of a very turbulent flight to Minneapolis on Sunday night.
