Red Sox's Suarez Shines in Walk-Off Win

0:00On April 18th, Boston Red Sox pulled off a one-nothing walkoff win against the Detroit Tigers at Fenway Park Friday night. It stayed scoreless deep into the game thanks to a straight-up pitcher's battle. Tiger starter Casey Meis struck out 7 over 6 and 2-3 innings with just 3 hits allowed. But Red Sox Ace Ranger Suarez stole the show, tossing 8-shadow innings on only 2 hits. Suarez matched his best career start with Boston so far. The team moves to 8 wins and 11 losses overall, and now 8 know whenever their starter delivers a quality outing. That $5-year $130-million free agent signing from January is finally clicking like they hoped. Manager Alex Korra lit up after the game, saying what he's preached for weeks. If we pitch, we win. He praised Suarez's command and pitch mix, calling a real pitching. Korra noted the guy's finesse style needed reps after a shaky world-based ball classic and an 11.0-0 spring ERA, plus rough first starts.

1:03Suarez bounced back strong with back-to-back quality outings, dropping his ERA to 3.22, second best in the rotation behind Rookie. Connally early, those Fenway Green City Connect jerseys worked magic again too. Red Sox now 7 and 0 in them, all walkoffs. Game 2 of the 4-game series hits Saturday at 410 p.m. Eastern, with Brian Bello facing Detroit's Sai Young winner, Tariq Scoobal. Pitching stays key if Boston wants to build momentum.
