Game 50 @ BOS

Jordan Zimmerman labored to earn this win against the Red Sox. He uncharacteristically gave up 3 runs in only 5 innings. He struck out a lot of batters early.

Mark Melancon held things down, no pun intended, over 2 innings. Scott Downs broke the bullpen's shutout streak.

Daniel Bard made it through 5 and 2/3 innings, but gave up 12 of the Tigers' 23 hits. He continues to struggle as a starter.

Adrian Gonzalez was the lone offensive star for the Sox, going 4-4 with 2 HR and 3 RBI.

Miguel Cabrera re-took the league lead with his 20th HR of the season. He added 3 of the Tigers 10 RBI. Prince Fielder was 5-6!
