MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - David Ortiz homered twice and drove in six runs to torment his former team once again, leading the Boston Red Sox to a 12-5 victory at the Minnesota Twins last night. Scott Diamond gave up six runs on eight hits and walked three over four and one third innings for the Twins, who sit at the bottom of the AL Central.

CHICAGO (AP) - Damien Brunner and Brendan Smith scored in the second period and the Detroit Red Wings trounced the Chicago Blackhawks 4-1 yesterday in Game 2 of their Western Conference semifinal series. Chicago will try to break the tie in the series in Game 3 at Detroit on Monday.

CONCORD, North Carolina (AP) - Jimmie Johnson became the first 4-time winner of NASCAR's annual All-Star race, taking out yesterday's event to break a tie with the late Dale Earnhardt and teammate Jeff Gordon.
