Two pitches seen by Mookie Betts from Minnesota Twins starter Jose Berrios, two home runs deposited into the seats. Betts hit a leadoff blast to give Boston an early lead, and drilled a 3-run blast in the bottom of the second.

Betts isn't about working the count on Wednesday night, that's for sure. The Sox star's two homers are virtually identical, both going over the Green Monster and increasing Boston's lead in the process.
The Red Sox outfielder entered the night with 20 home runs and 71 RBI on the season, while his batting average has seen a nice increase over the last few weeks to a respectable .291.
