Livan Hernandez Pitches Twins Past Red Sox 7-3

Posted May 12, 08 10:45 PM CDT in Sports 

(Newser) – Livan Hernandez won again, Craig Monroe contributed another big hit, and the Minnesota Twins beat the Boston Red Sox 7-3 on Monday night to win the four-game series. Manny Ramirez finally went deep, hitting career homer No. 498 in the first inning for the Red Sox. The two-run shot was his second home run in 20 games.

Hernandez rebounded after a rough start to finish six innings for another quality outing. The Twins are 8-1 when he's on the mound. Red Sox starter Clay Buchholz didn't make it out of the fifth, done in by control problems and timely hits by the Twins—who took three games from the Red Sox.
