    Minnesota Twins manager Ron Gardenhire can put up with Samuel Deduno's wildness as long as the starter keeps limiting opponents to just two hits.

    The right-hander who spent five years in the minors before reaching the majors allowed two hits for his second straight strong outing and the Twins beat the Boston Red Sox 5-0 on Thursday night.

    Deduno (3-0) walked four and struck out one in six innings before two relievers combined for three perfect innings. In his previous start, he allowed one run on two hits and five walks in a 12-5 win over Cleveland.
