What started out with a loss to the weekend against good hitting ball club Boston Red Sox the Tigers found a way to come out on top.

Friday night Max Scherzer posted a 7.29 ERA, but the team was only getting offense from a couple players scattered through the line-up. Brandon Inge, Brennan Boesch and Magglio Ordonez did their part for the team but still fell short losing 7-2.

Although Dontrelle Willis never found his groove on Saturday night but the Tigers came back in the 12th to tie the series and give their team motivation going into Sunday. Galarraga had a strong start and with the team getting nine hits and scoring five runs it was enough to hold the Red Sox to just one run and improve their season record to 22-16.
