Detroit Makes It 6 Straight with 5-2 Win
The Detroit Tigers picked up a win at Fenway Park, knocking off the Boston Red Sox, 5-2, in 10 innings. On the mound for Detroit was right-hander Javier Vazquez. He played a pivotal role in the triumph. Scott Downs claimed the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The left-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2.1 innings. His record stands at 5-4. The Tigers, now 97-51, have won 6 in a row.

Detroit won the game in part because of Rafael Palmeiro. The designated hitter ripped a 3-run home run in the top of the tenth inning to put the Tigers ahead, 5-2. For the game, Palmeiro had 1 double and 1 home run in 5 at-bats.

"There's no quit in this team," said Tigers manager Michael Jones.
