The Boston Red Sox defeated the Detroit Tigers 5–4 on May 4 at Comerica Park in a low-scoring affair that fell well short of the Vegas total of 2. Boston's pitching staff dominated, allowing just 3 hits and 2 earned runs while striking out 11, though the offense remained inconsistent with a .671 OPS despite collecting 12 hits and 1 home run. The Red Sox's 5 RBIs proved decisive against a Tigers lineup that managed only 3 hits and struck out 11 times, posting a .730 OPS that underscored Detroit's offensive struggles. Boston's pitching efficiency—particularly the 11 strikeouts—proved the difference despite both teams' similar strikeout totals at the plate, suggesting the Red Sox's rotation depth could carry them through a stretch of thin offensive margins. The win improves Boston's recent form as they look to maintain momentum against AL East competition.
