Final Score: Minnesota 7 - Boston 2

Fort Myers, FL (Sports Network) - Craig Monroe and Justin Morneau hit first- inning homers, as Minnesota got the jump on Boston and won, 7-2, in Grapefruit League play.

Monroe's was a solo homer, and Morneau's a two-run shot, and was the only hit of the game for each. Francisco Liriano, making his first start of the spring following "Tommy John" surgery after the 2006 season, tossed 1 2/3 scoreless innings for the win.

Keith Ginter went 3-for-3 with a run batted in, while Jeff Bailey homered for the Red Sox. Clay Buchholz was tagged with the loss after allowing three runs in a three inning start, though he struck out three and walked none.
