Red Sox Deal Twins 12-6 Defeat
Due in large part to center fielder Don Young, the Boston Red Sox sunk the Minnesota Twins, 12-6. Young was 3-4 with 3 singles and a walk. He scored 3 times. Boston sits in 7th place in the American League at 56-75.

The Twins had been locked in a 4-4 tie with the Red Sox going into the top of the seventh inning. That changed quickly when the 29-year old shortstop Tommy Brown came to the plate. Brown hit a 2-run double on a 0-1 changeup from Minnesota hurler Earl Francis. It was Brown's 16th double of the year.

"The boys were really swinging the bats today," winning manager Doug Morton said.
