Tigers Rout Texas 13-7
ARLINGTON, Texas (WWJ/AP) - Brennan Boesch hit a three run homer in the first inning and added a solo home run in the third to help the Detroit Tigers beat the Texas Rangers 13-7 on Monday night.
As heard on 97.1 The Ticket, the Tiger bats were hitting as every man in the starting line-up racked up at least one hit.
Brennan Boesch had two of Detroit's four home runs while setting career highs with five hits and five RBIs, and Max Scherzer pitched just long enough for his first win in nearly a month in the Tigers' victory.
Scherzer (7-2) hadn't won since May 9 at Toronto, when the right-hander won his sixth consecutive decision to open the season. He gave up five runs and eight hits in five innings.
All of Detroit's homers came off Colby Lewis (5-6), who gave up nine runs in 3 1-3 innings only five days after pitching eight scoreless innings at Tampa Bay to start a five-game winning streak for the AL West-leading Rangers.
