Red Sox Beat Twins In Minneapolis 5-2

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) ― The Boston Red Sox got an unexpected power surge from the bottom of their lineup to help Daisuke Matsuzaka remain undefeated with a 5-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins.

Coco Crisp and Jed Lowrie hit back-to-back homers to lead off the seventh inning. Mike Lowell and Kevin Youkilis also hit solo homers for Boston.

Matsuzaka gave up two runs and six hits with seven strikeouts in seven innings for the Sox. He's 6-and-0.

Jonathan Papelbon bounced back from two straight blown saves to get his 11th of the season.
