Larry Hisle's one-out, bases-loaded, 12th-inning single scored the winning run as the Twins nipped the Red Sox, 5-4, and rewarded Bill Hands with his first victory in five decisions for 4 2/3 frames of hitless relief hurling. Steve Braun opened the Minnesota 12th with a single and stole second. Passes to Tony Oliva and Eric Soderholm filled the sacks after Bobby Darwin flied out. Hisle's game-winning blow followed.
