"We know what's in front of us". You can't give up a crooked-number inning because then your guys are asked to battle back and score multiple runs against someone like Sale, who was on. A home run in any other stadium, the ball was caught by the wall, and Bradley settled for the sacrifice fly and a 1-0 Boston lead. Kinsler was the recipient of an unintentional intentional walk.
JaCoby Jones drew a bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the eighth, and the Tigers outlasted the flu-bitten Red Sox 6-5 on Friday to win their ninth straight home opener. With a three-run lead, I just tried to get ahead of guys, make them swing the bat, really. "That's a large number of at-bats past year that he was very productive".
After that, baserunners became scarce for both sides. "The starting pitcher did a nice job, we had a lead late, and we couldn't hold them".
"We've just got to find someone that can pitch the seventh and eighth inning", Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said.
After Sale pitched around a Victor Martinez single, lefty Justin Wilson entered the game in the top of the eighth. (Shane) Greene was down as well. "But in the fifth inning. they were able to get him that second and third time through the order". "I wish I would have been able to get it done today". He allowed nine runs on 13 hits in three innings against Atlanta on March 27 while experiencing a dead arm.
Justin Wilson pitched a flawless ninth for the Tigers for his first save of the season and second of his career.
"You can't keep pumping heaters in fastball counts when you're behind", Ausmus said. "There's no die in this team".
Everything felt a little more normal for the Red Sox on Sunday evening, enough that they could finally look forward to the Sale-Verlander showdown.
