Minnesota Mashes Boston


BOSTON: 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 - 2 9 0
MINNESOTA: 0 0 0 0 5 0 0 0 x - 5 7 1



Jacoby Ellsbury's bases-stealing, runs-scoring and ball-catching actions were not enough for the Boston Red Sox in the second game of this four-game series against the Minnesota Twins. the Twins scored the same number of runs today as they did yesterday, but today's outcome was a better one for them. David Ortiz was in the lineup today, though he batted in the sixth position instead of his customary third. He had a double and a walk. The series at the Metrodome is tied at one game apiece and will resume tomorrow with the Red Sox attempting to take the series lead.
