Nettles Helps Red Sox Beat Twins, 10-8
The Boston Red Sox put the giddy home crowd in an even more jubilant mood after beating the Minnesota Twins in the season opener at Fenway Park. First Baseman Chris Nettles won plaudits for Boston. He went 4 for 4 with a double, 3 singles, and was hit by a pitch. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Boston reliever Jamie Decker snagged the win, upping his record to 1-0. Marc Howell shouldered the loss.

Ramon Toledo hit a 3-run home run off Marc Howell in the bottom of the second, which put the Red Sox ahead, 5-4. In addition to the homer, Toledo had 1 double, while going 2 for 5.

"Every time I go up there, I try and hit a ball hard," said Nettles.
