Red Sox subdue Verlander to cage Tigers May 30th 2012, 04:16 The Boston Red Sox blunted Detroit ace Justin Verlander on the way to a 6-3 home victory on Tuesday to post a positive winning record for the first time this season. Daniel Nava hit a three-run double in the fourth inning to set up a 4-0 lead that was enough for Boston to improve to 25-24 on the season. After losing 10 of their first 14 games, the Red Sox under new manager Bobby Valentine continued their slow climb back into contention in the American League East. Reigning Cy Young winner and the American League's Most Valuable Player, Verlander allowed five runs in six innings to lose his second consecutive start for the Tigers (23-26). Prince Fielder slugged a home run in the sixth, and added an RBI in the seventh to pull Detroit within 5-3 but David Ortiz hit a solo blast in the bottom of the seventh to extend Boston's lead. Rain held up play for 38 minutes in the eighth inning before Boston resumed their march to victory. (Writing by Jahmal Corner; Editing by Ian Ransom)
