The Sox beat up Justin Verlander and the Tigers 4-1 in a rain shortened game to add to up their current win streak to four and reduce the Yanks lead in the East to 7.5. The Red Sox also are only 3.5 game out of the wildcard, and have a lot of recent momentum to build on.
The Sox beat Detroit off of Pedro Ciriaco's RBI single that scored Cody Ross, and then a bases loaded walk that scored Salty. The final blow came when Carl Crawford had an infield single that scored Kelly Shoppach, followed by Omar Infante's error that allowed Ciriaco to score from second.
The lone run came off of a bases loaded walk in the third, at which point Josh Beckett was still pitching. Beckett left the game soon after with back spasms.
The Sox finish off their series with the Tigers on Wednesday at 7:00 with Rick Porcello taking the mound for Detroit and Aaron Cook taking the hill for the Sox.
