The Minnesota Twins wrapped up their spring stay in Florida with a 7-4 victory over the Boston Red Sox Thursday.

The Twins have games against the Nationals in Washington Friday night and Saturday afternoon before opening the season Monday in Baltimore.

In his final spring training at-bat, David Ortiz hit his first home run of the spring in the Boston loss to the Twins on Thursday.

Ortiz announced on his 40th birthday in November that this will be his final season. He played in 342 Grapefruit League games in Fort Myers over 20 seasons with the Minnesota Twins and Boston Red Sox.

With two outs in the fifth, Ortiz launched a ball over the right field wall.

Minnesota’s Eddie Rosario hit his third homer, and Danny Santana had three hits and two RBIs.
