It happened to Scott Baker again. Almost a month since Scott Baker lost a game 1-0 against CC Sabathia, the Minnesota Twins' offense fell asleep at the wheel again. In the first inning, the Twins were able to load the bases with two outs against Dice K.

Up comes Delmon Young for the Twins. Dice K throws a first pitch high and tight fastball which Young promptly grounds out on. Inning over. Dice K had the Twins eating out of his hand after he got out of his bases loaded jam.

In the eight inning, the Red Sox pitcher was replaced by Hideki Okajima after he allowed two base runners with one out. Hideki Okajima then walked Justin Morneau to load the bases with still only one out. Minnesota's manager decided to PH Craig Monroe, who had a good previous series against the Cleveland Indians. Craig Monroe flied out in foul territory to set up the Delmon Young at bat.

Young, not known for his plate discipline, grounded it out weakly on the first pitch again to the Red Sox and bailing the Red Sox out of another bases loaded jam. The Sox, who were held down by a superb performance by Scott Baker, pounced on incoming Twins relief pitcher Brian Bass to record the only run of the contest.
