MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minutes into the game, Livan Hernandez and the Minnesota Twins watched another ball sail over the wall for the other side.
Boston’s Manny Ramirez made it a league-most 42 home runs allowed by the Twins, who just shrugged off the early deficit and went back to playing the way they always have.
Hernandez won again, Craig Monroe contributed another big hit, and the Twins beat the Red Sox 7-3 to win the four-game series and improve to 14-7 at home.
‘‘There may be new characters in the clubhouse, but it’s the same philosophy,’’ said Michael Cuddyer, who had two hits and knocked one in.
Ramirez hit career homer No. 498 in that first inning, a two-run shot that gave him only his second home run in 20 games and gave the Red Sox a 3-0 lead.
