Powered by Rick Sofield's four RBIs, the Twins ripped the Red Sox, 9-4. Sofield snapped a 2-2 tie with a double in the fifth and capped the decisive sixth inning with a three-run homer. Butch Wynegar also homered for the Twins, and Dwight Evans knocked in all Boston runs with a double in the second and homer in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
