BOS 5, MIN 4: Manny clutch again
For the second straight day Manny Ramirez provided the game changing blow.  This time it was a game tying two-run home run in the eighth inning to make it 5-5.
Brandon Moss drove in the game winning run on a single up the middle.
Star of the Game:  Offense
After Jon Lester served up five runs the offense fought their way back into the game to take a win and have a chance at a series sweep against a Minnesota Team who was strolling into Fenway red hot.
Preview of Next Game: Come on Beckett
We need a solid performance here from Josh Beckett as it will be hard to sweep the Twins.

I tip my cap to Manny last night.
The minute he hit the ball off Guerrier, everyone at Fenway knew that it was gone. The outfielders did not have to look. There is a reason why he is a Hall of Famer. I decided to write about Manny at Twins' Killings. I have so admiration of him as a player. I could not help but write about him.
Manny is a first-ballot Hall of Famer, and he is one of the best players in Red Sox history. He should finish his career in Boston. This guy is to the Red Sox as Jeter is to the Yankees. They are both clutch.
Manny is probably the best player I ever watched.

If we can't beat Livan behind Beckett, we have problems.
