Freeman Slugs Tigers to 10-5 Win
The rain made it unbearable at times; nonetheless, the faithful who endured the elements enjoyed themselves.

Detroit designated hitter Freddie Freeman was a significant contributor in his team's 10-5 triumph over the Boston Red Sox. He was 3-5 with 2 home runs and a double, while scoring 3 and driving in 5 for the Tigers. The American League Central Division-leading Tigers are 86-51.

The Red Sox had been locked in a 5-5 tie with the Tigers going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 25-year old catcher Alejandro Kirk came to the plate. Kirk hit a 3-run home run on a 2-2 changeup from Boston hurler J.P. France. It was Kirk's 9th home run of the year.

"I just tried to make good contact," said Freeman.
