BOSTON – The biggest victory of the biggest road trip during the wildest season deserved the most incredible arrival.

Let Eddie Rosario, the human exclamation point.

Rosario, born for those moments of great kindness, calmly gesticulated the rebound of JD Martinez's double, pivoted to the plate and launched a laser at a jump to receiver Jason Castro, who applied the label on a futile slide by Rafael Devers . And just like that, the Twins' most successful road trip in decades ended with iconic memory, a euphoric celebration, and an incredible 2-1 win over the Red Sox at Fenway Park.

"It was an ideal way to finish the match. A phenomenal throw, obviously strong, precise, "said the manager of the Twins, Rocco Baldelli. "A moment as important as the one we have known all year."

And it was the zenith of the Twins' spectacular 10-game road trip, a trek in three cities with eight wins – the first time since gulp, the 1991 championship season – that Minnesota had eight in a first-ever series victory in Fenway since 2013.

This success almost doubled their lead in the AL plant. The Twins, who left Target Field with a 3½-game lead in second place, Cleveland, have now returned home for an Indian playoff weekend with a 6½-game lead.

"It was a wonderful trip all around," Baldelli said. "We had to win games in different ways, [which] just show everyone, show us a bit of what we are capable of. "

He means that the most prodigious team of home batters of all time won this match with sturdy throws, a dazzling defense and an offensive arsenal consisting of eight rounds, two paper clips, two macabre singles and chewing -gums. The Twins scored their two points after the Red Sox pitchers scoured the loaded goals in the fifth inning on a double play (one of four red Sox tournaments) and seventh on Willians Astudillo's dive. had just predicted hitting coach James Rowson.

Yes, that kind of night.

He broke a 1-1 tie and delivered the first Twins victory with such little success since August 23, 2005, when Johan Santana, backed by a single shot from his teammates, beat the White Sox.

This time, it was another Venezuelan left hander, Martin Perez, who was managing with little help. Perez shot just 70 shots, knocking out Red Sox for six innings with one mistake – a two-receding double in the middle of the field by Mookie Betts in sixth. But Perez escaped the confusion when Rafael Devers was unsuccessful.

Oh, the race that he allowed? Perezon Perez if he is not impressed. Betts, who scored two homers the night before over the green monster, threw a sweet pop fly to the right field in the fourth inning. He fell just 321 feet off the floor – but not before looking at the right center pole – the Pesky Pole – giving Betts the shortest possible home run in the major leagues.

Did he feel that he had allowed a home run? "Ah, no," said Perez, who has become a 10-game winner for the fourth time in his career. "It was … I'm not allowed to say it."

The fast-setting pen for twins allowed even less, although he had some help. Trevor May released Perez for the seventh inning and withdrew three batters by order, but with a hitch: The second of them, the Red Sox receiver, Christian Vazquez, crashed a long flying ball in the center, a some extra-basic shot that Jake Cave turned harmless with a dive plug

Tyler Duffey threw a perfect eighth, and Taylor Rogers, after Sergio Romo allowed a single, ended the match to earn his 24th stop – albeit in the most dramatic way possible.

"When I saw the ball against the wall, I thought I had the chance to take that guy to the marble. I tried to make a good start, "said Rosario. "Since I was younger, I loved the spotlight, moments like that. I try them and I think I'm doing a good job. "

And this one? "I did everything perfectly."
