Ortiz guaranteed himself $11 million by triggering his option for the 2016 season in true Ortiz fashion with a monster hit. Miguel Cabrera (.350, 43 Rs, 15 HRs, 54 RBIs, 1 SB) continued his strong play yesterday, going 2 for 2 with one RBI.

“It’s good to end up in the good side”, Martinez said.
The Red Sox took a 2-0 lead after scoring runs in the first and third innings off Simon.

Ranking first in hits, Detroit has earned 9.55 per game this season.
Norris allowed five runs and nine hits in 31/3 innings. “This is the second time in the span of a week that he’s complained of it. We don’t think it is anything more than fatigue”.
“This isn’t what we had hoped to hear”, said Sox manager John Farrell, who nevertheless had not seen results of the Connecticut scan. “That’s what hurt me”.
Owens pitched to one batter in the sixth inning, allowing a leadoff double to Ian Kinsler. Red Sox 2, Tigers 2.
With Boston struggling as a team this season, Napoli is being given another chance to perform on a contending team by being traded back to Texas.

He had some hard contact turn into outs-case in point-but generally didn’t get into much trouble.
“Today, I just had one insane inning, but the frustrating part was that I let my pitch count get up and didn’t get deep into the game”.

The Detroit Tigers don’t seem to be handling this unfamiliar situation too well.
“He’s still a Major League player”, Ausmus said about Bradley.
“You spend seven months with each other, there’s going to be disagreements and sometimes it leads to pushing and shoving”, he said.
When Storen entered with six outs to go and the score 4-0, Washington appeared well on its way recording a second straight win for only the second time since the All-Star break. Sandoval and Ramirez have had their moments with a few hits here and there, but they haven’t had any real impacts on wins.
Justin Masterson’s second stint with the Sox ended as abruptly as his first.
Boston played without Hanley Ramirez, who was a late scratch from the lineup because of a sore left foot.
