Red Sox Lick Twins, 15-1
The Boston Red Sox thumped the Minnesota Twins, 15-1, at Fenway Park. Danny Tartabull was a big reason his team got the win. Tartabull hit 2 home runs, while scoring 3 times and driving in 5. The Twins fall to 6-13 and continue their wobbly start to the 1997 season.

Tartabull contributed a productive at-bat in the bottom of the first. With a runner on 2nd, he hit a 2-run home run. It was one at-bat among others that helped Boston get the win.

Tartabull told a Boston Chronicle reporter that he was "more than satisfied" with the win.
