Detroit Earn 4-2 Victory at Fenway Park
The Detroit Tigers knocked off the Boston Red Sox, 4-2, in American League action at Fenway Park. Detroit pitcher and Middletown Township, New Jersey, native António Peña had an outstanding performance. Clarence Rice earned his 43rd save in 48 chances. The first-place Tigers have their sights set on making a deep playoff run.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Orlando Arcia? The Detroit second baseman had a 2-run double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Tigers on top, 3-2. For the game, Arcia had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

Despite the victory, Peña was prickly with assembled media after the game. He said only that he was "happy with the win."
