Well, it was another cardiac save for Alfredo Aceves, but the Red Sox held on for an umpire-enhanced 7-4 win over the Tabbys of Motown. After an horrific missed third strike call that would have ended the inning, the Red Sox put up three runs—leading to the running of Jim Leyland. Felix Doubront was again his consistent self, going six innings and letting in just two runs. Ortiz, Salty, Nava and Middlebrooks were the offensive stars. The only downside of the game that got the Carmine Hose back to .500 was a thumb injury to Dustin Pedroia that forced him to leave the game.
