Added to the starting lineup late, Christian Arroyo had a career-high five hits and drove in four runs, while Kutter Crawford pitched five scoreless innings for the Boston Red Sox in a 10-4 win over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night.

Adam Duvall and Arroyo hit solo homers in the fourth to start the scoring, and Masataka Yoshida added a two-run shot in the eighth. Arroyo also hit a three-run double as part of a five-run seventh for Boston, which has outscored opponents 50-18 during a six-game win streak.

"Just got to always stay prepared, that’s just part of it," Arroyo said, later adding about his first career five-hit game: "Kind of speechless. ... This is the biggest stage, right? So, like, every hitter dreams of that. It was awesome."

Arroyo wasn’t in the original starting lineup but was inserted when shortstop Pablo Reyes was scratched just before the start of the game with right abdominal soreness. Manager Alex Cora said Reyes is sore and is day to day after feeling the injury during pregame infield work.

"We don't want take the aggressive of the approach, but at the same time, he can put an at-bat together," Cora said of Arroyo. "You can take pitches because you're good. When you get into counts, you put the ball in play, you hit the ball hard."

Crawford (2-3) gave up just six hits and struck out five. Corey Kluber
