BOSTON -- The Tigers expected they would need a lot of runs to keep pace with Bostons potent offense that underwhelmed in Detroits series-opening victory.What the Tigers didnt anticipate was being gifted the game-deciding run on a night when the margin of error was small for both teams.Miguel Cabrera hit a two-run home run, Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Tyler Collins each had a pair of RBI and the Tigers roughed up knuckleballer Steven Wright to beat the Red Sox 9-8 on Tuesday night.With the game tied in the sixth, Collins drew a bases-loaded two-out walk, which allowed Justin Upton to score the decisive run.Detroit and Boston combined for 22 hits as both starting pitchers struggled to string together outs throughout the evening.With all the offense from both sides, its kind of ironic that a walk is the difference, Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said.Saltalamacchia, a switch-hitter, had three hits after choosing to hit right handed against Wright.

Detroit won the series opener 4-2 on Monday night.David Ortiz had a three-run home run, but Bostons offense didnt have enough to offset a rare poor outing by Wright, who gave up nine hits and eight runs over 4 2/3 innings. Wright was leading the AL in ERA entering Tuesday.Its tough to keep asking the offense to keep carrying us like that, Wright said.Robbie Ross Jr. (1-2) got the loss.Detroit scored early for the second straight night, this time taking the lead on Cabreras 20th homer of the season.That was followed by RBI singles from Collins and Jose Iglesias in the second inning that made it 4-0.Detroit starter Mike Pelfrey was solid the first time through the order but lost some of his early command the second time around.It started in the third when Boston nearly erased Detroits lead with one big swing by Ortiz. With Mookie Betts and Xander Bogaerts aboard, Ortiz connected on a 3-2 pitch from Pelfrey to drive his 25th of the season over the right-field wall.The Red Sox took the lead back an inning later on an RBI groundout by Brock Holt and an RBI double by Betts.The Tigers continued to get hits against Wright and went back up 8-5 thanks a four-run fifth inning.Boston kept chipping away and used Jackie Bradley Jr.s home run and RBI by Dustin Pedroia and Bogaerts to tie it in the sixth.TRAINERS ROOMTigers: OF J.D.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee coach Holly Warlick remains upbeat amid an extraordinarily difficult year.Pat Summitt, her predecessor and mentor, died in June after battling early-onset dementia, Alzheimers type. That followed a trying season in which Tennessee had a school-record 14 losses but surged down the stretch to reach an NCAA Tournament regional final.The upcoming season hasnt started, yet Warlicks team already is down to nine healthy scholarship players. Athletic director Dave Hart, who hired her to replace Summitt, just announced his pending retirement.No wonder shes so eager to turn the page with a new school year.Nobodys going to feel sorry for myself or this program, Warlick said. I just have to keep focusing on what I need to do to get better and the positive part of this team. Personally, yeah, it was difficult. It was extremely difficult.The toughest part came with the death of Summitt, who led the Lady Volunteers to eight national titles and 1,098 victories. Warlick played for Summitt and worked as an assistant coach on her staff for 27 seasons before taking over the program in 2012. Warlick said the sudden nature of Summitts death was a little bit of a shock to me.Id just seen her two weeks before and was going out for her birthday and (was told) she was asleep, Warlick said, I said, `Dont wake her up. Ill see her next week. And the next week led to, `You need to get over here. Pats not doing well and may not make it through the night.Warlick savored all the opportunities to talk basketball with Summitt, who remained on staff as head coach emeritus. Warlick said Summitts declining health prevented them from having in-depth conversations about the game, but they could still talk about general things such as whether the team needed to play harder or rebound better.Just having that presence there and knowing she watched the game, those things were important to me, Warlick said.Warlick said Tennessees current players gained a new appreciation for Summitt from the tributes that poured in after her death. Now they want to honor her by buildingg on the momentum established during their surprising postseason run.dddddddddddd.That will require correcting the problems that arose during a 22-14 season. Warlick has raved about the teams offseason approach and particularly noted the leadership of senior guard Jordan Reynolds.At times we didnt lead by example last year, Warlick said. Sometimes wed get a little consumed about ourselves. It doesnt have that feel right now. It doesnt have that feel of, `Im worried about me. Its (about) trying to get this team in the right direction. Its a great feeling right now.The Lady Vols will need that kind of effort to overcome their lack of depth.Tea Cooper, the teams fourth-leading scorer as a freshman last year, will miss the entire 2016-17 season with a knee injury. Andraya Carter, who made 82 career starts, is forgoing her final season of eligibility due to a series of injuries. Warlick said the absence of those two guards could require Tennessee to play zone more frequently and to press less often.The uncertainty surrounding Tennessees athletic department makes this an intriguing seaent makes this an intriguing seson for Warlick, who has led the Lady Vols to regional finals in three of her four years on the job.Hart announced on Thursday he was stepping down June 30. Warlick had no head coaching experience when Hart chose her to run the program in 2012, but was the programs longtime assistant. Warlick noted his efforts in getting a statue of Summitt built on campus, planning locker-room improvements for the Lady Vols and aiding the athletic departments switch to Nike as its main apparel provider.When your athletic director leaves, I think all of us -- coaches, administrators, anybody here -- should be concerned, Warlick said. Daves the one that went out on a limb and hired me. Im appreciative of that.Warlick is responding to this latest challenge the same way shes faced every other obstacle.Its all about your attitude, Warlick said. I see the glass as half full. ' ' '
