G62: Red Sox 5, Tigers 3

Red Sox - 001 001 003 - 5 11  1
Tigers  - 001 100 100 - 3  7  1
David Ortiz's three-run home run off Joba Chamberlain gave the Red Sox a win.

Example
John Lackey / Anibal Sanchez
Holt, LF
Bogaerts, 3B
Pedroia, 2B
Ortiz, DH
Napoli, 1B
Pierzynski, C
Nava, RF
Drew, SS
Bradley, CF
Psst: Xander Bogaerts is awesome.
