Due to the fact this is all spring training we are limited to the information available to provide an in depth story for the spring training games. However, we going to try anyway.
RedSox 1st--With runners on the corners and two out, Troy O'Leary becomes the first Red Sox of the spring to hit a home run.
Twins 1st--Eight batters faced Wakefield, a single, two doubles and an error by Manny later, four twins crossed the plate.
Twins 3rd--When the knuckler dances it's real hard to catch, but very important when there's a man on third...Wild pitch.
Twins 5th-- Mientkiewicz hits 3-run homer of Florie
Twins 8th--Lecroy hits a solo job off Lee
