Tigers highlight: Two homeruns
Tigers lowlight: Ten men left on base
Red Sox highlight: Carl Crawford's walk-off RBI single in the ninth
Red Sox lowlight: Daniel Bard's pitching
My Comment: Like to acknowledge J. D. Drew's contributions to today's win over the Tigers. His homerun, two RBIs, and his catches of sharply hit balls to right field were instrumental in the victory and were part of the drama that recent Red Sox games seem to have. The Red Sox have now won six games in a row, several of them with late inning dramatics. Nerve-wrecking, but exciting. Tomorrow Interleague play begins and the Chicago Cubs come to Fenway for the first time in 93 years! The last time the Cubs were in Boston, the Red Sox won the 1918 World Series. Nothing quite that intense for the next three games, but an emotionally anticipated series nonetheless.

BOSTON: Starting Pitcher: Josh Beckett; Winning Pitcher: Jonathan Papelbon (2)
