2009 ALCS - Game 4: Boston v. Detroit
Red Sox win pennant ... again
Boston tops Tigers 8-5
October 16, 2009
DETROIT - The Boston Red Sox will be back in the World Series after sweeping the Tigers in four games.
Boston put together an 8-5 victory with Josh Johnson on the mound but lost right fielder Nick Markakis in the process. Markakis was injured running the bases and replaced by Reggie Willits. Tests at a Detroit hospital showed Markakis strained a ligament, an injury that will place him alongside Manny Ramirez on the Boston bench during the World Series. He had been 2-for-3 with a double and a run before the injury.
Victor Martinez paced the team with a 3-for-5 performance, including a run and a RBI. Ryan Howard had two hits.
