On Road, Twins Top Red Sox, 8-1
The Minnesota Twins downed the Boston Red Sox, 8-1, at Fenway Park. Stellar pitching by Brandon Roberson had a lot to do with it. The right-hander handcuffed his opponent all game. Roberson got the win, improving to 1-5. He gave up 5 hits and walked 2 over 5.2 innings. He allowed 1 run. The win gives the Twins a record of 13-16.

Minnesota used a well-timed hit by Mike Caruso to capture the win. The second baseman socked a 2-run double in the top of the second inning to put the Twins ahead, 3-1. Though it was his only hit in 2 at-bats, it was important.

"We didn't put our best foot forward tonight," said losing manager Mike T.
