Baseball Betting Lines

04/23/2012 - Minneapolis, MN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Cody Ross' second home run of the game proved to be the difference as Boston opened a three-game set against Minnesota with a 6-5 victory.

Ross hit a two-run home run in the seventh inning and added a go-ahead solo blast in the ninth while Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit a two-run shot in the second for the Red Sox, who snapped a five-game losing streak.

Jon Lester went seven innings in the start for Boston and gave up five runs on six hits with four walks and four strikeouts. Daniel Bard (1-2) got the win for getting the final two outs of the eighth.

Danny Valencia hit a two-run home run and Ryan Doumit added a two-run double for the Twins, who have dropped their past three.

Jason Marquis was tagged for five runs on 11 hits with three strikeouts over 6 1/3 innings. Matt Capps (0-1) suffered the loss for serving up the homer in the ninth.

Capps got the first two outs of the ninth, but Ross got hold of an 0-1 fastball and ripped it over the right-field wall.

Alfredo Aceves then worked around a one-out single in the ninth to pick up his third save of the year.

Boston got on the board in the first inning thanks to a sacrifice fly from Adrian Gonzalez and increased its lead to 3-0 in the second on a two-run homer from Saltalamacchia.

Minnesota, though, put up four runs in the fourth to take the lead. With one out, Joe Mauer singled and Josh Willingham followed with a walk. After Justin Morneau struck out, Doumit hit a double to chase home both runners and Valencia followed with a shot over the wall in left-center for a 4-3 lead.

A run-scoring double-play from Jamey Carroll scored Trevor Plouffe in the fifth to give the Twins a 5-3 lead.

Boston answered in the seventh to tie the game as Saltalamacchia hit a one-out single and Ross followed with a blast over the left-field wall for his fourth homer of the season.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
