The Tigers may have scored 21 runs in two games against Texas over the weekend, but the Boston Red Sox aren’t the Rangers and Detroit fell in the series opener Monday, 5-2.
Red Sox starter Josh Winckowski cruised through the first three batters of the night and ran into little trouble through 6 2⁄3 innings of work. He’s responsible for both of Detroit’s runs, but the win was never really in doubt for him despite the Tigers outhitting the Sox, 10-9.
Alex Faedo’s night was not as sharp. The Detroit starter opened the game up by walking Jarren Duran on four-straight balls and allowing him to swipe second two pitches later with Rafael Devers at the plate.
