The Red Sox are without their best two righty bats (one due to back tightness and one due to rest) as they line up for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against Minnesota.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora was ejected in the first inning of an 8-1 victory against Minnesota in the opening game of a split doubleheader Sunday at Fenway Park. Cora became irate after the umpiring crew came together and decided to allow Byron Buxton to advance to third on an interference call at second on a pickoff attempt.

BOSTON — Boston’s Triston Casas homered in his first three at-bats and drove in seven runs on Sunday in the opener of a split doubleheader, carrying the Red Sox to an 8-1 victory over the Minnesota Twins. Winning for just the eighth time in their last 22 games, the Red Sox are just 23-36 since the All-Star break.

Alex Cora was as angry as he has ever been at the umpiring crew Sunday afternoon. He explained after the game what set him off.

The Red Sox-Twins game scheduled for Saturday at Fenway Park was postponed due to rain. It will be made up on Sunday as a split doubleheader, with Game 1 scheduled to start at 12:35 p.m. ET and Game 2 set to start at 5:35 p.

In the first inning of Sunday’s afternoon matchup with the Twins, Red Sox manager Alex Cora didn’t hold back as he let the umpires know exactly how he felt about a call. With one out, Red Sox starter Nick Pivetta threw to second in an attempt to pick off Byron Buxton.
