KEY GAME INFORMATION
MINNESOTA: The Twins were one of baseball's biggest surprises last year behind their widely respected rookie manager Paul Molitor and a much-deeper rotation that combined for a 4.14 ERA that ranked 16th in the majors. Twins starters were last in 2014, last in 2013 and second-to-last in 2012. The starting five has the potential to be even better in 2016, with a full season from Ervin Santana, who was suspended for the first half of 2015, and an improvement from a slimmed-down Phil Hughes, whose uncanny career statistics have produced solid performances in even-numbered years and not-so-good ones in the odd seasons. The Twins could also use a bounce-back from Mauer, the three-time A.L. batting champ who hasn't been the same since a concussion in 2013 forced him out from behind the plate. The team's first postseason appearance in six years is a possibility if young outfielders Buxton, Rosario and Sano take more steps forward and Byung Ho Park's transition is smooth.
BOSTON: The Red Sox are coming off their third last-place finish in four years. In 2013, they won the World Series. Farrell returns to the dugout after missing the last six weeks of the 2015 season receiving treatment for cancer; the team went 28-20 under bench coach Torey Lovullo. Hanley Ramirez, one of last year's big free agent signings, will move to first base after struggling to adapt to the outfield during his first season in Boston. Pablo Sandoval also will try to bounce back in his second season at Fenway Park. If the Red Sox start poorly, attention will turn quickly to the farewell tour for David Ortiz, who has said this will be his final season.
PREVIEW
Twins-Red Sox preview
 

BOSTON -- Kyle Gibson's stellar star Friday may have been just what the Minnesota Twins needed to finally go on a little run, starting with Saturday's game against the Red Sox.

The Twins (36-60) became the first American League team to reach 60 losses after Thursday's 13-2 rout in the series opener against the Red Sox in Boston, but bounced back in a big way.

Gibson pitched eight one-run innings and gave up just hits while Miguel Sano played the hero as Minnesota held on for a 2-1 victory.

"The starting staff's been throwing a little bit better," Gibson said. "Whenever that happens, that's always going to help you go on a run. Hopefully we can do it again (Saturday)."

Boston (54-40) pounded out 17 hits while scoring 13 runs in Thursday's blowout, but had only two going into Friday's ninth inning before loading the bases for David Ortiz with nobody out.

Miraculously, the Red Sox couldn't win the game -- or even tie it.

"(Boston's) a good team, a really good team," Gibson said. "If our defense is going to play like that and offense is going to scrape a couple runs when they need to, I think we can get on a run."

Boston turns to David Price to get back on track Saturday.

Price (9-7, 4.36 ERA) has been durable, if nothing else, in his recent starts at Fenway Park.

The high-priced southpaw is 6-3 with a 4.06 ERA at home this season, but has gone eight innings in four straight Fenway starts.

Price finished an out shy of a quality start Sunday against the Yankees in New York, allowing three runs on 11 hits and a walk -- but with just one strikeout -- in a 5 2/3-inning loss.

"I couldn't execute whatever pitch I was throwing to get an out," Price said. "That's tough."

It was the second time this year Price recorded one strikeout in a start. He also totaled one in his June 24 start at Texas, something he hadn't done in 40 prior turns.

"You guys are tired of hearing it, and I'm tired of saying it: I've got to execute," Price said.

Price is 9-3 with a 2.12 ERA in 15 starts career against Minnesota. Brian Dozier is 6-for-31 lifetime against Price, but has two home runs, four RBIs and two walks.

Kurt Suzuki, who was given the day off Friday, is expected back in the lineup. While Suzuki is 7-for-33 against Price, he has a homer and a team-leading six RBIs off him.

Ricky Nolasco (4-8, 5.02 ERA) has also proven somewhat durable in his recent starts, going at least six innings in seven of his last nine since the start of June.

Last time out, Nolasco surrendered only one run on three hits and a walk with no strikeouts in a hard-luck, six-inning 1-0 loss at Detroit. It was his fourth loss in five starts.

Nolasco is 3-2 with a 4.50 ERA in six career starts against Boston, but has struggled mightily at Fenway.

The right-hander is 1-1 at the ballpark with a 10.80 ERA, his highest at any park with at least two appearances.

His last start at Fenway came four years ago with Miami, a nine-run debacle over 3 1/3 innings of a 15-5 loss on June 20, 2012.

Unsurprisingly, David Ortiz has been a problem for Nolasco -- as he has been for so many other pitchers.

The retiring 40-year-old slugger is 4-for-13 with six RBIs against him, but three of those hits have been home runs.

Aaron Hill is 6-for-20 with a pair of RBIs, Dustin Pedroia is 4-for-15 and Hanley Ramirez is 2-for-6 with an RBI against Nolasco.
