Masataka Yoshida knocked a pinch-hit, walk-off single in the 10th inning, leading the Boston Red Sox to a 1-0 win over the visiting Detroit Tigers on Friday night in the opener of a three-game series.
Yoshida's hit through the right side of the infield drove in Jarren Duran, the automatic runner on second base to begin the extra frame who advanced to third on a wild pitch by Detroit reliever Will Vest (1-3).
After starter Ranger Suarez tossed eight innings of two-hit ball, Red Sox relievers Aroldis Chapman and Garrett Whitlock (1-1) each pitched scoreless frames.
Suarez did not allow a hit after the first inning and retired the final 13 batters he faced.
Chapman gave up a pair of hits in the ninth, including a leadoff single by Javier Baez, who was then caught stealing. After Kevin McGonigle's fielder's choice and a Jones double into the left field corner, Dillon Dingler struck out to end the threat.
Whitlock dealt a 1-2-3 10th.
Jahmai Jones went 2-for-4 with a double and starter Casey Mize struck out seven in 6 2/3 scoreless innings for Detroit, which was on a six-game win streak but lost its ninth straight road game.
Both teams recorded just four hits.
Suarez worked around back-to-back hits to post a scoreless first, as a relay from the outfield cut down Jones trying to stretch a one-out hit into a double -- thanks to a successful challenge overturning a safe call -- before Dingler struck out to end the frame.
The Red Sox, meanwhile, were held hitless until Connor Wong's two-out, ground-rule double deep to the center-field triangle in the third. Mize struck out three across the first two innings and induced an inning-ending double play in the fourth.
Caleb Durbin's leadoff double into the left field corner started Boston's sixth, but he was stranded on third as two fly balls and a strikeout. Duran's two-out single in the seventh chased Mize, though Kyle Finnegan stranded the inherited runner in scoring position following a stolen base.
