Red Sox outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. belted a two-run homer off reliever Alex Wilson with two outs in the bottom of the eighth to send the Tigers to a 5-3 defeat on Friday night at Fenway Park.
Wilson entered the game with a one-run lead, but his throwing error placed a runner into scoring position and allowed Red Sox cleanup hitter Mitch Moreland to tie the game with an RBI single.
Three batters later, Wilson faced Bradley Jr., who blasted a fastball to the right-field seats.
Tigers starter Jordan Zimmermann gave up two earned runs in 6.
