Tigers Sweep with 6-2 Win

They came. They saw. They conquered. The Tigers from Detroit swept the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park this weekend. Perhaps the Tigers were interested in payback for last year's ALCS defeat in 6 games. A healthy Miguel Cabrera to lead the offense & a potent pitching staff were dominant in the 3 games in Boston. On the other side, I believe Red Sox fans now know how fortunate the Boston team of destiny was last year to have had the sun, moon & stars align on their way to a championship season. The Boston offense could muster only 3 runs in 3 games. No big hits this time around. No David Ortiz, no Mike Napoli, no Shane Victorino to the rescue. I told my brother that this series was over after the 1-0 loss on Friday. I believe that that game set the tone for the whole series. But - there's always a but - even John Kruk from ESPN said that as bad as the Red Sox have played through the first 2 months, they are still in contention. The AL East is tightly packed with the Yankees on top with a record of 23-20. No one has broken away from the pack. A couple of good series wins could see the Sox move from 4th up towards the top. The incoming Toronto Blue Jays would be a good team to start winning against.
