Detroit Tigers swept in first home series with 4-1 loss to Boston Red Sox

The Detroit Tigers scored one run.

It happened on a gift, or two gifts, from the Boston Red Sox in the first inning. But the defensive blunders were among the few mistakes from the Red Sox in Sunday's series finale.

The Tigers collected nine hits on offense, despite drawing just one walk — by Jonathan Schoop in a futile ninth-inning rally attempt — but couldn't drive in more than one run, losing 4-1. They were swept in three games at Comerica Park, dropping their record to 2-7.
