Minnesota Pins 7-4 Loss on Red Sox
The performance of Matt Downs proved critical in helping Minnesota beat Boston, 7-4. The Twins second baseman went 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times. Kenley Jansen earned the save for Minnesota, his 4th. The Twins raised their record to 10-6.

Minnesota used a well-timed hit by Eric Hosmer to capture the win. The first baseman socked a bases-clearing double in the top of the second inning to put the Twins ahead, 4-0. Though it was his only hit in 5 at-bats, it was important.

"I just tried to make good contact," said Downs.
