Adrian Beltre homered off loser Francisco Liriano (4-3) to open the scoring in the second inning.
Youkilis cracked a three-run homer with two outs in the fourth inning to extend the lead to 4-0. He later doubled to score Victor Martinez in the fifth inning again with two outs to make it 5-0.
Boston scored its final run on a wild pitch in the seventh inning en route to sweeping the two-game series from the Twins to run its win streak to three straight games.
