The Red Sox swung a late-night trade with the Twins on Wednesday to bring in some additional bullpen reinforcements.

The 29-year-old Alcala (0-2) has an 8.88 ERA in 22 appearances for the Twins this year. His final outing with Minnesota came Tuesday when he gave up five runs — four earned — in a 16-4 loss to Texas.

Red Sox rookie Marcelo Mayer provided plenty of pop at the plate for the Red Sox on Wednesday with two home runs.

Marcelo Mayer's first major league home run was greeted by a chorus of boos as he rounded the bases at New York's Yankee Stadium last week.

BOSTON (AP) — Rookie Marcelo Mayer hit two of Boston’s four solo home runs and the Red Sox outlasted the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3 on Wednesday night. Abraham Toro added a go-ahead homer in the fifth inning, and Jarren Duran also hit one to help Boston earn its second series win over the Rays this season.
