Twins Rally to Win
Minnesota turned a good effort from starting pitcher Bert Blyleven into a win over the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. The final score was 3-2 in 10 innings. Eddie Guardado, credited with the win in relief, is now 2-3. He allowed no runs on 2 hits in 1.1 innings. Firpo Marberry earned the save for Minnesota, his 2nd of the year.

The game was at a stalemate until left fielder Kirby Puckett came to bat in the top of the tenth. Facing Boston pitcher Dick Radatz, he hit a 1-2 changeup for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Minnesota on top, 3-2.

"This game tested our mettle," said Puckett.

Minnesota has now won 3 straight, while the Red Sox have lost 3 in a row.
