Top 9th: No extra runs for K-Rod

Left-hander Tommy Layne took the mound for the Red Sox in the top of the ninth, giving up a double off the Green Monster to Justin Upton. Upton was then thrown out trying to reach third base on a missed bunt by Mike Aviles -- who grounded out on the next pitch, for the second out. Jarrod Saltalamacchia followed with a two-out single -- his third hit of the night. Tyler Collins grounded out to Dustin Pedroia, who made a great snag at second base. Going to the bottom of the ninth, the Tigers lead 9-8.
