Tigers' Rally Wins Series Opener

0:00On April 19th, Tigers finally broke through against the Red Sox pitching at Fenway Park, grabbing a 6-2 win on a rainy Sunday. Their bats had been silent most of the series until a huge 2-out rally in the 5th inning, flipped the script, and put Detroit ahead for good. Rain delayed the first pitch from 135pm to 435pm, with Tim stuck in the mid-40s under gray skies. Tigers jumped out one nothing early on. Back-to-back doubles from Matt Veerling and Dylan Dingler, but Boston tied a quick in the bottom of the first. On Wilson Contreras' solo homer. Both starters locked it down after that. Garrett Crochet punched out 6-over-4 innings, while Framber Valdez retired 9 Red Sox in a row at 1. Point. Tension bill as the game stayed tight through the middle frames. Then boom, in the top of the 5th, Crochet struck out the first two. But Jamai Jones crushed his first homer of the year off the Green Monster Light. Pull. Glaborator is walked, Veerling singled, and Dingler smashed a 3-run shot 400 feet to dead center, putting Detroit up 5-1.
