The Tigers are starting to see their massive lead atop the American League Central, which was at one point in double digits, continue to dwindle at a crucial point in the season.

Romy Gonzalez and the Boston Red Sox take the field against Carlos Cortes and the Athletics on Thursday at 1:35 p.m. ET, in the second of a three-game series at Fenway Park.

The Red Sox are coming off their 11th walk-off win of the season, which is tied for the most in MLB.
