the New York (AL) Yankees by a score of 7 to 4 at Fenway Park.

provided by Youkilis.  He smashed a bases-empty 'big-fly' in the 2nd inning
and smashed a two-run homer (his 11th of the season) in the 5th inning.  New
York (AL) was out-hit by Boston, 11 hits to 7.  
 
Jon Lester(4-1) went 5 and 2/3 innings allowing 4 runs for the victory. Mike
Mussina(2-5) was charged with the loss.  He served up 3 gopher balls in 5

which plated a run in the 4th inning and laced a single in the 8th inning.
The New York (AL) batters went down meekly in the 9th.  
 
Josh Beckett(4-1) picked up the victory, allowing 3 runs in 6 and 1/3 innings.

Justin Verlander mowed down 12 Texas batters as the Detroit Tigers defeated
the Texas Rangers by the score of 7 to 3 at Ameriquest Field.
 
Verlander(2-2) contributed a very nicely pitched game.  He allowed only 8 hits
and 3 walks in 9 innings reducing his ERA from 4.33 to 4.06.  Detroit banged
out 14 hits on the afternoon.  
 
The loss was charged to Vicente Padilla(3-3).  He allowed a few too many
baserunners giving up 13 hits and 5 walks in 8 and 1/3 innings.  
 
Chris Centorcelli was impressed with Verlander and his 12 strikeouts.  'It's
tough to generate runs if you can't make contact with the ball.'

Nick Blackburn(3-2) and Mike Mussina(2-4) treated the Minnesota fans to a fine
pitching duel at Metrodome.  The Minnesota Twins eventually emerged as
victors over the New York (AL) Yankees by the score of 1 to 0.
 
Minnesota promptly took the lead in their half of the first scoring one runner
using 2 hits.  That early scoring was all that Blackburn needed.  Joe Nathan,
after tossing a perfect ninth, was credited with his 11th save.  
 
'I had a little blister on my index finger before the game, but I thought it
was nothing.' Blackburn said.  'I was lucky I got a win because I couldn't
put the ball where I wanted it.'
