The Red Sox and Twins met on May 7, 2017, in Minnesota. The Red Sox jumped out to an early lead in the first inning when Dustin Pedroia hit a solo home run, followed by an Andrew Benintendi home run with Xander Bogaerts on base. Mookie Betts followed up with a home run in the fifth to give the Red Sox a 4-0 lead. Xander Bohaerts crossed home plate for another run in the ninth inning in a Mitch Moreland Double. Boston batted around in the ninth inning, and this baseball was used when Xander Bogaerts batted for the second time in the inning with Mookie Betts and Chase d’Arnaud on the base path. Bogaerts hit a fly ball to right field that bounced past the fielder, allowing Betts and d’Arnaud to score, and Bogaerts to reach third base for a triple. This was only the seventh triple of Bogaerts’ career. Bogaerts then scored again, for the second time in the inning when Mitch Moreland hit a double. In total, Boston scored 10 runs in the ninth inning and defeated the Twins 17-6.
