Red Sox 9, Twins 5
BOSTON — Adrian Gonzalez homered and Jacoby Ellsbury extended his hitting streak to 17 games for the Red Sox. "We're a different team because he can cause havoc for the other team on the bases, like teams do to us," manager Terry Francona said of Ellsbury, who stole a base and scored on Gonzalez's single. Gonzalez, who hit one homer through 28 games, has three in his past six.
