Twins beat Red Sox, win 4-game series

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Livan Hernandez won again, Craig Monroe
contributed another big hit, and the Minnesota Twins beat the
Boston Red Sox 7-3 on Monday night to win the four-game series.

Manny Ramirez finally went deep, hitting career homer No. 498 in
the first inning for the Red Sox. The two-run shot was his second
home run in 20 games.

Hernandez (6-1) rebounded after a rough start to finish six
innings for another quality outing. The Twins are 8-1 when he's on
the mound.

Red Sox starter Clay Buchholz (2-3) didn't make it out of the
fifth, done in by control problems and timely hits by the Twins -
who have nine of their last 12 games and scored 74 runs in the
process.
