It took over five hours, but the Detroit Tigers lost to the Red Sox.
Interrupted by a two-hour, four-minute rain delay at the start of the sixth inning, the Tigers dropped their series opener against Boston, 9-6, on Friday night at Comerica Park.
The game was stopped moments before the sixth inning began, with the Tigers trailing by two runs. They allowed three runs immediately after the game resumed, responded with four, but Xander Bogaerts’ three-run home run off right-handed reliever Austin Adams was too much to overcome.
