The Detroit Tigers were able to tie the Boston Red Sox this afternoon with an 11-11 final score, thanks in large part to the contributions of Travis Demeritte.
He blasted two home runs, including a 9th inning 3-run shot to tie the score.

The game ended as a tie without extra innings due to Spring Training rules.
Demeritte was acquired by the Tigers as part of the deal that sent pitcher Shane Greene to the Atlanta Braves last season. In 48 games wearing the Old English D, Demeritte hit .225 wth three home runs and 10 RBIs.
