The home crowd had a good time watching the Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers get after it.

Due in large part to designated hitter Merritt Ranew, the Detroit Tigers sunk the Boston Red Sox, 12-2. Ranew went 4 for 5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles. He scored 3 times and drove in 4. Bruce Howard, the winner, improved to 10-10. He held the Red Sox to 2 runs on 4 hits over 9 innings, while striking out 3 and walking 0.

With Detroit trailing 1-0 in the bottom of the first, Ranew hit a curveball from Tom Gordon for a 2-run home run. It was his 12th home run of the season and put the Tigers ahead, 2-1.

"Things didn't bounce our way," said Boston skipper Doug Morton.

Detroit is now 79-62, while Boston is 61-82.
