G25: Red Sox 11, Tigers 4

In the middle of an extremely strange eighth inning, seven Red Sox batters saw 30 pitches and put exactly zero of them into play - and still scored three runs during that span. That's because Jose Manuel Fernandez walked three batters with the bases loaded, throwing only one strike in 13 pitches. (Jayson Stark is already setting aside a spot for this game in his next Useless Info Dept. column.)

The Red Sox turned a 4-1 game into a head-shaker by scoring seven runs on only three hits. They received gifts of five walks and one hit batter.
