Tigers red sox

• BOSTON (AP) -- Clayton Mortensen pitched 2 2-3 shutout innings after Josh Beckett left with back spasms and the Boston Red Sox beat the Detroit Tigers 4-1 in a game halted by rain in the top of the sixth inning Tuesday night.
(YAHOO!)
• The Detroit Tigers may be especially eager to return home after a poorly timed downpour further soured their road trip and helped extend their decade-long stretch of struggles at Fenway Park.
(ESPN)
• BOSTON—Tigers manager Jim Leyland took the high road after a 4-1 loss to the Red Sox which was called because of rain with the Tigers having the bases loaded with two outs in the sixth.

• Much like his season, last night's game against the Detroit Tigers was a roller coaster for Josh Beckett [stats]. The Red Sox [team stats] starter was dominant in the early going, but his night came to a premature end due to a back spasm in the third inning.

• Carl Crawford capped a four-run fourth inning with an RBI single as Boston topped Detroit, 4-1, in a rain-shortened contest at Fenway Park.

• Maybe the Red Sox can get Steven Wright to open for Bruce Springsteen. Oops, wrong Steven Wright.

• BOSTON -- The Detroit Tigers had a shot. They just didnt get a chance to pull the trigger.

• BOSTON - Already down 4-1 to Boston, the Detroit Tigers couldnt battle the weather, too.
(Minneapolis Star Tribune)
• So while potential wild-card foes like the Angels (Zack Greinke), Rangers (Ryan Dempster), White Sox (Francisco Liriano), and Tigers (Anibal Sanchez) improved their rotations, the Red Sox hope that Breslow gives them an effective left-handed arm out of the bullpen.
(YAHOO!)
• BOSTON - Remember when a matchup of Justin Verlander and Josh Beckett sounded like a night of great pitching? On a rainy Tuesday night at Fenway Park, it was left to Clayton Mortensen to provide the quality work on the mound.
