Stephen Drew went 4-for-5 with a homer and a game-winning double in the bottom of the 11th Monday against the Twins.
Drew's double bounced off the bottom of the Green Monster after Ryan Doumit, playing the outfield for the first time this season, got way too cautious around the wall. But while that ball should have been caught, Drew had a great night regardless. The homer was his second of the season. He also had an RBI single in the fifth, and he would have scored that inning except umpire Cory Blaser blew the call at home. With the four hits, Drew raised his average from .182 to .225.
