The Red Sox and Tigers had to stop playing due to rain about halfway through this game, with the delay eventually lasting two hours. Prior to the delay, it was more of a pitcher’s game with Rafael Devers hitting a two-run shot early and Eduardo Rodriguez shining on the mound en route to a 3-1 lead for the Red Sox. Once the delay was over, the bullpens were in and the offenses were unleashed. Boston’s bullpen and defense did threaten to give this one up in the sixth, but they held on and Xander Bogaerts added the insurance with a big homer.
