Minnesota Twins right-hander
Cole Sands earned his second save of the season on Saturday afternoon in a 3-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox. Sands pitched a spotless ninth and added a strikeout in relief of usual closer
Jhoan Duran, who was called upon to face the heart of the Red Sox order in the eighth inning. That left the save opportunity for Sands. With the usual setup men
Brock Stewart and
Justin Topa out with injuries, Sands could see himself in a higher leverage role in the short-term with lefty
Caleb Thielbar and should earn holds and the occasional vulture save.
