Bradley Jr.’s 5 RBI power Red Sox over Tigers, 7

Napoli was hitting. 207 with 13 home runs and 40 RBIs with the Red Sox.

After, he struck out Pablo Sandoval to record his first save of the season.

Victor Martinez hit a two-run homer in the seventh inning off Tazawa, and the Detroit Tigers held off David Ortiz and the Red Sox after that, beating Boston 7-6 on Saturday night. “He looks confident. He’s attacking the hitters”. Nostalgia may have played a role in the move to re-acquire him, but Daniels clearly thinks Napoli has something to offer right now. “And he pitched intelligently tonight as well”. Different than just getting away with things when you were younger.

CHICAGO – Rookie Kyle Schwarber had two hits and two RBIs to back Jon Lester, and Chicago beat San Francisco for its eighth victory in nine games. “He was intelligent about how he approached it”.

Ortiz had a chance to tie the game in the ninth inning against hard-throwing Tigers reliever Bruce Rondon. After the game, MacCann told reporters that the fight was behind them. “I still feel strong and I still feel good”, Tazawa said through a translator. We know he’s going to fit our culture.

To recap, that’s five earned runs on five hits and a walk in a run of just 11 batters, many of which were at a platoon disadvantage. “I haven’t been able to get it the last few times”. “I’m glad to help the team win”. “Those are pretty much the qualities you want.”… Trying to find all of it while on your way to work or sitting at your desk just isn’t easy.

After a scoreless first inning, the Sox got on the board first, led by a determined Big Papi.

“It’s good to get that out of the way”, he said. “We’ve been having some battles and coming in the wrong side”.

Ausmus’ decision-making hasn’t been great this season, but Sunday’s game was one situation he could not control.

Ortiz met the requirement with his 425th plate appearance this season on his first at-bat against the Detroit Tigers on Saturday night, guaranteeing a base salary of $11 million in 2016.

While he may take a little longer to get going at his age, eventually Ortiz heats up and starts feasting on opposing pitchers again. J.Martinez doubled to left, Kinsler scored.

A bases-loaded walk to Jackie Bradley Jr. – who was hitting.

David Ortiz has a home run among his three hits but Boston falls to the Tigers, 7-6.

With third baseman Sandoval (jammed left thumb) banged up and second baseman Dustin Pedroia (strained right hamstring) still on the disabled list and not ready to resume baseball activities, infielder Deven Marrero was recalled from Triple A to take Napoli’s vacated roster spot. He led off with a walk, stole second and continued to third on a wild pitch before scoring on a sharp liner to center by Victor Martinez.

The Red Sox continue to sell of pieces. He was replaced by LF Alejandro De Aza….

In the sixth inning, Ortiz restored the Sox’ lead, 3-2, with a solo homer against Tigers starter Alfredo Simon. It was his 20th homer at Comerica Park, the most by a visiting player in the 15 seasons since it opened. Through the team’s first 111 games, Ortiz has 429 plate appearances, on a pace to finish the season with 626 plate appearances.

In St. Petersburg, Florida, Grady Sizemore and Kevin Kiermaier each drove in two runs to erase an early deficit.

Ortiz doubled off the wall in center in the second and came home on a sacrifice fly by Travis Shaw.

Red Sox third. Swihart singled to right. The Red Sox have scored 14 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in four of their last eight games.
