Red Sox 1, Tigers 0
BOSTON — Jarrod Saltalamacchia doubled off the leftfield wall in the eighth, scoring Carl Crawford from first and giving the Red Sox their fifth straight win. Boston's Clay Buchholz and Detroit's Phil Coke each pitched seven shutout innings before a rain delay. Tigers manager Jim Leyland brought in lefty Daniel Schlereth to face lefty Crawford. The move backfired when Crawford walked. Leyland visited Schlereth but left him in, and Saltalamacchia got his go-ahead hit.
