Boston Dings Detroit, 8 to 2


DETROIT: 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 - 2 3 1
BOSTON: 0 1 2 0 5 0 0 0 x - 8 11 0



Yes, the Boston Red Sox are surely home. Today the Red Sox won the third game of the four-game series against the Detroit Tigers, Boston's third win in a row. The game at Fenway Park displayed wonderful Beckett (Major League leading wins) pitching and good Red Sox hitting. Great! The final result of Tuesday's ("Ejection Day") game was the five-game suspension of Boston's Kevin Youkilis and Detroit's Rick Porcello for their little second inning ruckus. Youkilis will not appeal his suspension and can play again on Tuesday 18 August in Toronto. In the meantime, Lowell will have more opportunity to play and he is homerun hot right now. It has been awhile, but the Boston Red Sox will be going for a series sweep tomorrow.
