 At 41-57 (.418), this is the worst winning percentage at the break by the Tigers since their 2003 season, where they finished with a 43-119 record. Their team slash line is .245/.303/.386, which are all the team's lowest at the break since 2003.

 Nicholas Castellanos is hitting .372 with runners on base this season. That is the highest by any AL player (minimum 100 plate appearances). He is hitting .375 with runners in scoring position in the first six innings but .167 in the seventh inning and after.

 The Red Sox's 1-4 hitters are hitting a combined .305 this season, the highest in MLB. Those hitters have homered 87 times this season, the second most in MLB (Yankees, 89).

The Detroit Tigers cannot escape reminders of what they used to be.
They faced their former ace, Justin Verlander, in the last game before the All-Star break on Sunday. Upon returning from a four-day hiatus, they run into one of the league's premier sluggers, another player they traded away last season to enter a rebuilding phase.

Red Sox slugger Martinez returns to Detroit to face Tigers

DETROIT (AP)  One run was enough for David Price and the Red Sox - but only after Boston escaped a couple of dicey jams.
Price pitched four-hit ball into the seventh inning and the Red Sox kept right on rolling in their first game after the All-Star break, beating the Detroit Tigers 1-0 on Friday night. Price worked out of a bases-loaded, nobody-out situation in the fourth, and reliever Matt Barnes maneuvered through a tough spot of his own in the eighth.
