BOSTON (AP) - Tim Wakefield pitched a five-hitter for his second consecutive complete game and the Boston Red Sox earned their sixth straight victory, beating the Minnesota Twins 10-1 in seven innings as rain shortened the opener of a scheduled day-night doubleheader.
Scott Baker (0-2) gave up a two-run homer in each of the first three innings - to Kevin Youkilis, Nick Green and Mike Lowell - and the Red Sox added four runs in the seventh before the umpires signaled for the tarp with one out. The game was called after a delay of 1 hour, 25 minutes.
