The Red Sox lost to the Tigers 7-5 Sunday. This game was sort of weird, as we were able to put up 4 runs against Verlander, Doubrant's outing was shaky, as he only lasted 5 innings, and his pitch count was up once again. When Doubrant had left his outing, the bullpen was good for one inning, until Bailey had come in, in what was yet another struggling game for him, as he gave up 2 hits and a run. Then, Miller who was doing very good lately, struggled for his second straight outing, blowing the lead giving up 1 hit, making an error, and hitting a batter. The 3 runs were not charged to him but the error was made by him. Also during that inning Daniel Nava had made a disputed catch in which he caught the ball, but dropped it and the umpire said that he did not have control of the ball. The Red Sox would score one in the ninth, and then with 2 outs, Detroit outfielder Torii Hunter would make a nice catch to end the game and rob Drew of a hit and another potential RBI/Run. Our offense actually got 12 hits. Ellsbury went 2-4 with an RBI, Pedroia went 3-4, Ortiz went 3-5, and Iglesias who has been hot lately, sadly went 0-3 but reached base on being hit by a pitch.
With that being said, the Blue Jays have won 11 straight, and sit at 4th place in the division with a 38-36 record, ahead of the 5th place Rays, and behind the 3rd place Yankees. What is good for us is that the Orioles and Yankees both lost so we remain our 2 game lead over the Orioles for first place. The Red Sox will have an off day tomorrow, Monday, and then will verse the Rockies in a 2 game series at home, and then will verse the red hot Blue Jays in a 4 game series at home. Hopefully we do in this home stand!
