Shane Greene is on the mound for the Tigers in the bottom of the seventh inning.
Tigers starter Jordan Zimmermann gave up two earned runs in 6.0 innings.
Greene has thrown a scoreless frame in 12 of his past 13 appearances, entering tonight. He will face Red Sox hitters Pablo Sandoval, Mookie Betts and Dustin Pedroia.
Zimmermann struck out three and walked three in six innings. That’s back-to-back effective starts for Zimmermann, who gave up 11 homers in five May starts but appears to have found a groove.
