05/06 Walk-Off Win: Red Sox 6 (21-11) Twins 5

Clay Buchholz had his first rough start of the season giving up four runs in six innings.  He still struck out nine though so his impressive year has continued.  Boston won on walk-off fashion thanks to singles from Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Will Middlebrooks in the 11th and the winning run scored on Stephen Drew's single.  Shane Victorino and Dustin Pedroia both homered for the first time this season.  Joel Hanrahan blew the save and looks to be headed to the DL for the second time this season and joining fellow closer Andrew Bailey.  Bad bullpen luck.

PLAYER OF THE GAME:
STEPHEN DREW: 4 for 5, home run, double, 3 RBIs, tied game in seventh, won game in 11th
