Today was Jacob Turner's start, and Your Baseball Blogger wondered if Turner could bounce back after being shelled in Baltimore last week. The Tigers are hot, though, and when a team is, Good Things often happen to pitchers who experienced Bad Things their last time out.
Turner gave up seven hits in five and 1-3 innings but kept the Sox from running up the score, and earned his first major league win.
Three of the seven hits came in the first inning, producing a single run. Alex Rios, the last batter Turner faced, homered with one on in the sixth.
Quentin Berry, Bash, and Cabrera (twice) homered. Cabrera's second shot -- like the other, hit to straightaway center field -- was the 300th of his career.
Phil Humber allowed all four homers and all six Tiger runs, and was gone after three innings.
Villareal, Coke, Dotel, and Benoit limited the Pale Hose to one add-on run, a solo homer by Kevin Youkilis (a Jew). Dotel, following the homer, struck four of the five batters he faced.
