| The Red Sox score double digit runs for the 2nd time in this young 2012 season, but actually win this time with an 11-2 trouncing of the Tigers. The Sox loaded the bases in the 5th on a Ryan Sweeney double and walks of Nick Punto and Jacoby Ellsbury, then had Dustin Pedroia rip a single to score 2 runs. Adrian Gonzalez singled to add one more run, then David Ortiz cleared the fence for 3 more. In the 6th, Sweeney led off with a single, moved to 2nd on a Mike Aviles ground out and to 3rd on a Kelly Shoppach single, then scored on an Ellsbury single. Pedroia this time had runners on 2nd and 3rd, and knocked them both in with a double. Ortiz doubled to score Pedroia. Pedroia added a solo homer in the 8th to cap a 3 for 4 day with 5 RBI and 3 runs scored. Ortiz knocked in 4 runs with his double and home run. Clay Buchholz got the win with 6 innings of solid work. |

WEB GEMS- Bot 6th: Mike Aviles robbed Andy Dirks of a base hit.
The Detroit Tigers pitching staff was overwhelmed by the Boston Red Sox lineup
who plated 11 runs while Clay Buchholz(1-0)with relief help surrendered 2
runs to Detroit.
Dustin Pedroia was a seemingly constant irritant to the hometown fans as he
provided much of the offense for the visitors. He slapped a base-hit scoring
two baserunners in the 5th inning, doubled scoring two baserunners in the 6th
inning and clubbed a solo home run in the 8th inning. Boston had 12 hits for
the afternoon while Detroit had 8.
Max Scherzer(0-1) ended up with the loss. He was knocked around, surrendering
5 runs in 4 and 2/3 innings. 'Actually, I didn't feel that comfortable at
the plate today' Pedroia said after the game. 'Despite that, I'm happy with
the results!
