| Jeff Bailey's first major league homerun, a 2-run shot, gives the Sox the lead in the 5th inning, a lead they would never relinquish. Bailey's blast along with a solo shot for Wily Mo Pena help to overcome the Tigers swinging of the ball. All the Tiger runs were on homeruns off Daisuke Matsuzaka, with a Gary Sheffield 2-run bomb and solo shots for Brandon Inge and Curtis Granderson. Mike Timlin gets his first save of the season, coming in for a tiring Dice-K with one out in the 8th and staying on for the 9th with the Sox 3-run lead and whiffs 3 while allowing a hit. This is the final day before the All-Star break. Sox representatives on the AL side include David Ortiz (starting at first base!), Manny Ramirez as the starting left fielder, and Jonathan Papelbon on the pitching staff. On the NL side, Phillie Chase Utley will be the starting second baseman and Jimmy Rollins as the reserve shortstop. Nobody from the Nationals will be on the team this year. |

woeful Detroit Tigers by a score of 7 to 4 at Comerica Park.
