June 15, 2006: Red Sox 3 Twins 2




This one was a pitchers duel between Tim Wakefield and Carlos Silva. The Sox were down 2-1 going into the 9th, but a Mark Loretta pinch hit single tied the game after Alex Cora reached on a 2-base error by Torii Hunter. The Sox then loaded the bases on successive singles in the 10th, and Trot Nixon knocked in what would be the winning run on a sacrifice fly. Seanez gets the win, while Papelbon earns his 12th save.
