The Red Sox, amid a 22-27 record, have managed to emerge victorious from series against Central Division rivals; they previously defeated the Tigers in Detroit, swept the Royals at Kauffman Stadium, and, starting Friday, will host the Twins in a May that is beginning to look promising for this Boston team, now without Cora at the helm.
No news is more crucial for the Red Sox right now than the resurgence of Jaren Duran's bat after a forgettable start to the season that still has him batting .195. The Red Sox's leadoff hitter is beginning to turn his season around: going 7-for-19, he has hit in his last five games, homering in the final two of the series against Kansas City, including a powerful swing to the opposite field.
That's an indication that other Red Sox hitters are contributing to Contreras's success. Almost always batting cleanup, he's silencing critics who advise against bringing him to Boston. The Venezuelan went 3-for-4 on Wednesday, and his batting average has been rising; only Rafaela is hitting for a better average on the Red Sox.

Our Boston Red Sox vs Minnesota Twins Prediction
With a record almost identical to the Red Sox's, the Twins took the series against the Astros 2-1, but at a high price. They've temporarily lost their best hitter, Ryan Jeffers, due to a hand injury. Manager Derek Shelton said he would need multiple players to compensate for his offensive production.
The Red Sox have the momentum. Tolle has the opportunity on the mound to lead Boston to its first four wins of the season. With his dynamic pitching, Tolle is already a fan favorite and is poised to become their ace in the near future. They desperately need a performance like the one on April 23rd when he struck out 11 Yankees.
Our prediction for Red Sox vs Twins is: Red Sox ML.
