The Boston Red Sox have lost their third game in a row, losing 6-5 to the Detroit Tigers in a walk-off fashion.
After being swept, Boston is now on the wrong side of .500 for the first time in a month and is four games behind the New York Yankees in the AL East.
“Obviously, we got swept here, it sucks, but I’m not even thinking about that. I thought the last few days we competed the right way,” Red Sox manager Alex Cora said.
In addition to a 5-8 record in May, the Red Sox have endured several injuries. Tristan Casas, Tanner Houck and a number of other players have gone down for the Red Sox.

One of the big questions surrounding the Red Sox is when the debut of prospect Roman Anthony will occur. Anthony is batting 306/.428/.478 with five home runs in 37 Triple-A games.
While there is an obvious hole at first base, the Red Sox and Cora have been adamant about keeping Anthony in the outfield.
The Red Sox have Thursday off, but play at home on Friday in a series against the Atlanta Braves. After a slow start to the season, the Braves sit just one game below .500.
