Live Tigers blog: Red Sox 1B Moreland belts HR

Red Sox cleanup hitter Mitch Moreland led off the bottom of the fourth inning with a solo homer to right field.

The Tigers lead has been cut to 3-1.

Moreland’s home run sailed past the outstretched arm of Tigers right fielder J.D. Martinez.

The home run ball was in a strikingly similar spot to where David Ortiz hit his infamous grand slam in Game 2 of the 2013 ALCS that caused Torii Hunter to flip over the wall.
