RECAP
FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) _ Marcus Jensen and David Ortiz hit consecutive home runs in the fourth inning Friday night to lead the Minnesota Twins to a 5-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox. Jensen, who's battling for a catching job, homered down the first-base line off Dario Perez. Boston manager Jimy Williams was ejected after arguing that it was foul. That meant Williams wasn't around to see his 20-year-old son, Brady, lead off the eighth inning by striking out in his first spring training at-bat. Gary Gaetti homered for the second straight day, hitting Jack Cressend's first pitch over the wall in left field. The 41-year-old Gaetti is a longshot to make Boston's roster, but he is 3-for-8 (.375) this spring. Bryce Florie, who's trying to earn a spot in the Red Sox rotation, allowed three runs, five hits and two walks in three innings. Minnesota starter Mark Redman gave up three hits in three scoreless innings, striking out two. Derek Lowe pitched a scoreless ninth for Boston.
