Armed with a comfortble seven-run lead, Beckett started letting the Tigers put the ball in play after the fifth inning. In the seventh, with Beckett working on a one-hitter, Marcus Thames put a ball out of play, launching his 13th homer into the Monster Seats and trimming the Red Sox' lead to 8-2. Guillen followed with a single, but Beckett induced Magglio Ordonez to rap into a double play and end the inning and his work for the night.
