Sale and Dalbec lead Red Sox to 12-2 rout of Twins

BOSTON (AP) – Red Sox ace Chris Sale joined Hall of Famer Sandy Koufax as the only pitchers on record with three immaculate innings, Bobby Dalbec homered twice and Boston beat the Minnesota Twins 12-2.

Dalbec drove in seven runs and Rafael Devers hit his 30th homer, a two-run shot during a five-run sixth that helped the Red Sox put away the Twins and seal Sale’s third victory in as many starts this season.

Sale pitched 5 1-3 innings, striking out eight and allowing two runs on two hits.

Willians Astudillo’s two-run homer in the fifth accounted for the only runs the Twins managed off Sale.
