Red Sox 2, Tigers 4: From sweep to swept (for the day, at least)

The Red Sox have had better days. Looking to build off the momentum of a sweep in Tampa Bay, Boston returned to Fenway for a four-game set against the Tigers that started with a doubleheader on Tuesday. After dropping the first game, they had to win the nightcap to salvage a split for the day. They had plenty of chances to take leads and control this game, but the offense was a disaster with runners on base. In just about every inning Boston had a runner in scoring position, and they failed to knock in the run time after time.
