Trying to end it right here.

Changeup he wants.

Lined in Verdugo there to make the play, and that wins it.

Red Sox 5-3.

As they come from behind today, knock off the Tigers Whitlock going four innings.

For the first time it is so impressive. So impressive. The game planned a little piggyback with Whitlock.

He did his job. Four innings. Beautiful thing. No runs.

So here you go. The Red Sox 5-3 winners today over the Detroit Tigers.

They will play another day game tomorrow.

So get you ready for the Bruins and Blues right here on 98-5 of the SportsUp. Secondly, we will have another good giveaway tonight. So pay attention. we may do it at the end of this segment, may do it at the beginning of the next one,

and if you paid attention last night, you'll know what it is. But we are going to give something away a little bit later on the program. But let me start here with the Red Sox. And again, if, you know, it's a short show. So if you want to get in, you can jump in now. Jimmy already opened up the phone, 617-779-0-98-5. Halfway through this game today, I was ready to be a crisis mode. The Red Sox were down three to nothing in the middle innings. Rich Hill was starting to get slapped around a little bit. I didn't think the Red Sox looked sharp. they looked anemic and downright impotent at the plate. And I was alarmed about where this thing was going at the start of the season.

The one thing this team can absolutely positively not have happened in the early part of this year is to come out of the gate slow.

I don't need them to start fast, but they can't come out and go four and ten, two and seven,
