Game 3 in Minneapolis
Twins starter Francisco Liriano gets off to a slow start in the first inning, walking
three straight batters, then allowing a 2-run single to Ryan Howard and a sac fly to
Ludwick. Minnesota responds with two in the bottom of the frame on a Curtis Granderson
2-run homer. The Red Sox add a run in the fifth, and the Twins one in the seventh,
making it a 4-3 BoSox lead heading to the ninth. With two outs in the ninth and a runner
on, Twins manager Shooty Babitt summons Sergio Romo to face Ryan Braun. Braun greets
him with an RBI double, then Upton follows with a home run. Zack Greinke strikes out
10 in six innings to earn the win. Red Sox win, 7-3
