Bombo Rivera drove in four runs with a single, double and homer and Rob Wilfong smacked a two-run double to pace the Twins to an 8-2 victory over the Red Sox. Wilfong's two-bagger in the fourth inning broke a 2-2 tie. Rivera, who had plated one run with a single in the second, knocked in a pair with a double in the fifth and capped his 3-for-4 day with a homer in the eighth.
