Red Sox Avoid Sweep Vs. Twins; Matt Barnes Closes Out August On High Note; September Call-Ups

Summary: The Boston Red Sox avoided the sweep of the Minnesota Twins with a 6-5 win at Target Field on Wednesday night. Xander Bogaerts hit a grand slam, J.D. Martinez hit a solo home run and Matt Barnes picked up the save. NESN's Lauren Willand recaps the 6-5 win and how an intense mound visit from Alex Cora to Matt Barnes may have helped the pitcher settle down in the win. Lauren looks at Matt Barnes' strong August and shows just how reliable he's been since returning from the injured list. Lauren also dives into an article written by MassLive's Chris Cotillo regarding Jarren Duran and his struggles with mental health and opening up to people and how he handled the criticism of his defense and his reaction to his own fanbase (remember when he told fans to not root for them when they make the playoffs?)
