Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
BOSTON, June 24 (UPI) -- Minnesota scored with the help of a Nomar Garciaparra error in the 10th inning Thursday and beat the Boston Red Sox 4-3.
The Boston shorstop made a bad throw to first baseman Kevin Millar on a grounder up the middle by Christian Guzman, who reached second when the ball bounced into the stands. Guzman later scored the go-ahead run off Red Sox closer Keith Foulke (2-1)
Minnesota's Joe Nathan retired the middle of Boston's order -- David
Ortiz, Manny Ramirez and Garciaparra -- in the bottom of the 10th for his 21st save in 22 opportunities.
Grant Balfour (2-0) got the win, pitching 2 1/3 scoreless innings.
