Twins Fall, 14-8, to Flynn, Red Sox
In a high-scoring contest between Boston and Minnesota, second baseman Doug Flynn was a difference-maker. Flynn, who is tied for 9th in the AL in triples with 7, distinguished himself in the 14-8 Boston win. He was 3 for 4 with a triple and a double. He scored 2 times and drove in 4. Boston now has a 3-game win streak.

With Boston leading 11-6 in the bottom of the seventh, Flynn came up to bat against Minnesota pitcher Charlie Leibrandt. Flynn hit a fastball to right for a bases-clearing double. His 11th double of the season put the Red Sox on top, 14-6.

"It was a solid team effort," Flynn said. "That's usually what it takes to win."
