For the second night in a row, the Red Sox squeak by the Twins, this time by a score of 6-5. The Twins blow a 5-2 lead in the 8th. Manny Ramirez once again gets a big hit, a three run homer to tie the game. Youkilis doubles and Moss singles him home to set up the Papelbon save. The Red Sox extend their lead over the Twins to 2 1/2 games in the wild card race.

The home run was a rare one for Manny, as only six of his 17 this season came in Fenway.
