The Boston Red Sox bested the Minnesota Twins by a 6 to 2 score at Target
Field.
 
The Minnesota fans didn't appreciate the big day Adrian Gonzalez had.  He
doubled in the 4th inning, laced a one-base hit scoring a run in the 5th
inning and bombed a two-run dinger in the 7th inning.  Overall Boston out-hit
Minnesota 12 to 9.  
 
Clay Buchholz(3-0) allowed 2 runs in 6 innings, and picked up the victory.
Liam Hendriks(2-1) took the loss.  With the win, Boston continued their
winning ways; their streak now stands at 6 games and counting.
