BOSTON — It took more than a decade, but the Twins finally solved Corey Kluber.
Kluber, who won two Cy Young Awards with Cleveland in part by consistently dominating the Twins, surrendered seven runs in the first three innings at Fenway Park on Wednesday, and the Twins snapped their three-game losing streak with a 10-4 victory over the Red Sox.
Edouard Julien launched the first pitch he ever saw from the 37-year-old right-hander 418 feet into the right-field seats, and Joey Gallo celebrated his return from the injured list by crushing one just one foot shorter in the third inning. Together they earned Minnesota a 7-0 lead, the most runs the Twins have ever scored off Kluber in his 25 career starts against them.
