Walker, Twins Too Much for Red Sox
Larry Walker was instrumental in his team's 9-5 triumph over the Boston Red Sox. The right fielder was 1 for 1 with a home run and 3 walks. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3 for the Minnesota Twins. Steve Parris earned the win for Minnesota. He lasted 5.2 innings, allowing 5 earned runs on 9 hits, while striking out 7. With the win, he raised his record to 2-5. Rob Dibble got credit for the save for Minnesota. It was his 3rd of the year.

Walker had a big at-bat with a runner on 2nd in the bottom of the third inning, when he hit a 2-run home run. The Twins went on to win.

"It was sure nice to get the win but there's a lot of baseball left," Walker after the game.

The win boosts the Twins to 23-26. The loss puts the Red Sox at 19-32.
