Zim denied win as 'pen lets Red Sox rally

Nicholas Castellanos goes opposite field for a solo home run and quickly gives the Tigers a 1-0 lead in the top of the 1st inningBOSTON -- Jackie Bradley Jr. picked a fine time to drill one of the most powerful home runs of his career. His two-run smash to right-center in the eighth snapped a tie and led the Red Sox to a 5-3 come-from-behind victory in Friday night's opener of a three-game series against the Tigers.

When Bradley's eighth homer of the season soared into Fenway Park's bleachers in right at 435 feet per Statcast™, the Red Sox, who had scored just one run in the previous two games, had their first lead of the night.
