Townsend Rips Boston for 5 Hits
Minnesota Twins left fielder Andy Townsend had a day to remember at Fenway Park, ripping apart the Boston Red Sox and sparking the 10-0 Twins win.

Townsend wrote his name in the record books with a 5-hit barrage, finishing his special day 5-for-5.

"I'm usually a first ball hitter," Townsend told BNN reporters in the postgame press conference. "I think pitchers think batters are going to let the first one go by. I never do. I've always found that it's better to pull the trigger early in the count. Pitchers get real nasty when they get ahead of you, so I try to avoid it."

Andy Townsend singled in the 1st, hit an RBI double in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, doubled in the 6th and singled in the 8th.

This year, Townsend is batting .341 with 44 hits, 1 home run, 17 RBIs, 7 walks, .377 OBP and has scored 18 runs.
