Doug Fister has a 1.84 ERA and a 1.13 WHIP to go with is .230 BAA, yet is 0-2 in his five outings. The lanky right-hander gets the start for the Tigers, while the Sox send Felix Doubront to kick off the first of four against Les Tigres at Fenway. Comment away.

Let me just say that for the past 15 or so minutes, everything you could want has gone right for the Red Sox.

Laird over the fence in left, got just high enough, with 2 out and none on. 5-2.
Pedroier out of the game, not sure what the deal is…goddamit.

And to go over .500…Verlander stands in the way.
