Red Sox Hold Off Twins, 6-5
Boston beat Minnesota at Fenway Park, eking out a 6-5 win. The triumph was primarily due to designated hitter Jeff Kent. He was 1 for 2 with a home run and 2 walks. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. The winner was Boston reliever Tim Belcher, now 2-2. The loser was Joe Bonikowski. Mike Fiers closed the game out for Boston, earning his 7th save.

With Boston leading 1-0 in the bottom of the second, Kent hit a cutter from Josh Tomlin for a 2-run home run. It was his 2nd home run of the season and put the Red Sox ahead, 3-0.

Boston manager Doug Morton was pleased with the team's effort. "It was just a good, gutsy performance by everybody," he said.

Boston is now 41-49, Minnesota 49-40.
