A four-run, seventh-inning rally carried the Tigers to a 5-4 victory that dimmed the Red Sox hopes of overtaking the Yankees in the American League East. Steve Kemp delivered a two-run double to key the seventh-inning comeback. Jason Thompson led off the Tigers' fourth with his 30th homer of the season.
