| The Red Sox shellack the Tigers, getting a combined shutout from their pair of Japanese imports. Daisuke Matsuzaka pitches 8 innings of shutout ball, but a high pitch count prevents him from finishing it out. The Red Sox offense was also firing away, with 5 guys with 2 hits or more. The big sluggers came through in the 5th, when the Sox opened up a 1-0 game with a David Ortiz bases loaded sac fly and a Manny Ramirez 3 run homer. Then in the 8th, the Sox hitters piled on 6 more runs off a pathetic Tigers pitching staff.
