Game 2 in Boston
Sox strike first once again in the third when Carlos Ruiz singles and eventually scores
on a Justin Upton sac fly. Zobrist gives the Twins the lead with a 2-run shot in the
fifth off R.A. Dickey, and Minnesota tacks on one more in the eighth on a Kendrick RBI
single. Boston couldn't rally, as Josh Johnson went 8 1/3 innings for the victory and
Mike Gonzalez came in to retire the final two batters for the save. Twins win, 3-1
