Justyn-Henry Malloy came through with a walk-off single to center, giving the Tigers a 6-5 win over the Red Sox on Wednesday.

Tarik Skubal struck out 11, but the Tigers didn't get the sweep until Justyn-Henry Malloy hit a two-out pinch-hit single.

Justyn-Henry Malloy hit a pinch-hit single in the ninth to end the game and give the Detroit Tigers a 6-5 win over the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday night.

Hunter Dobbins is slated to take the mound for Boston against Tarik Skubal for Detroit.

In the bottom of the 11th, Báez stepped to the plate with runners on the corners and no outs, facing reliever Greg Weissert. He got the pitch he was hunting and didn't miss, launching a first-pitch sweeper at the bottom of the strike zone over the left-field wall for a three-run home run. The Tigers won, 10-9.

It started with team owner (and Globe owner) John Henry showing up at Kauffman Stadium to have a meeting with Rafael Devers about his refusal to play first. The Sox responded as a team by taking two of three from the resurgent Royals as Devers, still the designated hitter, drove had seven hits and drove in six runs.

The Red Sox rallied late against Tarik Skubal but couldn’t get the go-ahead run home, leaving the door open for the Tigers to pick up their second straight walk-off win to complete the sweep.

The 2025 season has not been kind to Boston Red Sox starter Tanner Houck. After Houck’s latest blowup against the Detroit Tigers, an outing which saw him allow 11 earned runs on nine hits and two home runs over two and 1/3 innings, he has received perhaps his most discouraging news so far.
