Twins - 5
Josh Beckett has allowed 2 runs or less in 8 of his 17 starts this season, but had walked away with a loss and a no decision in 5 of those 8 starts, thanks to little to no run support from his offense.
Yesterday, Beckett needed 104 pitches to get through 5 innings and gave up 5 runs on 8 hits (2 homers) and 2 walks. Like most of Red Sox Nation, I don't think Beckett expected to get the win, but the flood gates opened after his departure and the Sox scored 14 runs from the 5th through the 8th, resulting an 18-5 shellacking of the Twins.
Josh explains how irony can fun:

Beckett couldn't be more correct. I've always said this about the Sox. They have a tendency to score, I don't know, 18 RUNS in one game and then only 1 in another. How can day to day be so different? I guess that's baseball. Thanks for recognizing this Josh!!

Agreed. Lets hope they don't do just that to Bucky in his return tomorrow...
It would be nice to ride this wave into the break...
