Following a humiliating sweep of Tuesday’s doubleheader at Fenway Park, the Boston Red Sox took out their frustrations on the Detroit Tigers last night.
The Red Sox scored a season-high 11 runs on 12 hits and seven walks in a win over the Tigers. Their previous high for runs scored this season was eight, a total they have reached twice, although both instances came in a loss. This offensive explosion was much sweeter in a victory, salvaging a series that threatened to spoil any goodwill the Red Sox had gained by sweeping the Tampa Bay Rays last weekend.
