Detroit Tigers rip defeat from jaws of victory

Early on in the game it looked as if Detroit might get one up on the Sox tonight; however, the Sox have been on the back end of a lot of games this year and come back shining.  Tonight was no exception.

A rally in the bottom of the 8th climaxed with a 4 run dance around the infield by David Ortiz to tie the score at 5-5 going in to the ninth.  

From there, it was a simple matter of lulling the already dazzled Tigers to sleep before the Sox finished it off in the bottom of the ninth with Johnnie Gomes, who was on third base at the time, scoring off a base hit by Saltalamacchia.  Final score 6-5 Boston.
