Twins highlight: Danny Valencia's homerun

Red Sox highlight: Fourteen hits
Red Sox lowlight: Six men left on base

My Comment: Five more runs, two more hits, and one less error than yesterday's game for the Red Sox. Although the Twins did manage to put runs across, I am much encouraged by the hitting Boston accomplished today. Of the Red Sox batters, only Varitek didn't get a hit, but he'll have another opportunity tomorrow.
