DETROIT -- Avisail Garcia lifted a fly ball to right field, Daniel Nava drifted back to make the play -- and then a sloppy game swung in Detroits favour for good. Nava appeared to have the ball in his glove, but when it came free second base umpire Mike DiMuro ruled there was no catch. That was the first of two Boston errors that helped the Tigers score three runs in the eighth inning en route to a 7-5 victory over the Red Sox on Sunday. "Sometimes its your day, sometimes it isnt," Detroit manager Jim Leyland said. Justin Verlander struggled again for Detroit, but the Tigers rallied to win when Boston made a complete mess of the last few innings. The Red Sox allowed Detroit to tie the game at 4 in the seventh on a hit batter with the bases loaded -- and then in the eighth, they gave up three runs on one hit. Boston was convinced afterward that DiMuro had gotten the games key call wrong. "I know I made the catch," Nava said. "Sometimes calls go your way, sometimes they dont." Nava, in right because Shane Victorino left the game with lower back tightness, went back toward the wall and tried to make an awkward-looking basket catch. A replay showed he might have lost the ball while transferring it from his glove to his throwing hand. "To have a catch, you have to have complete control and voluntary release," said crew chief Ted Barrett, the third base umpire. "(DiMuro) had him with control, but did not have the voluntary release. When he flipped the ball out of his glove, he never got it into his hand. Thats not voluntary release." Boston manager John Farrell was ejected for arguing the call. "When you spend the rest of the game in the clubhouse, you probably have a difference of opinion," Farrell said. "Clearly, the call was missed. He caught it, he went to transfer to his throwing hand, dropped it at that point." Garcia ended up on second, and Bryan Holadays bunt also worked out nicely for Detroit when pitcher Andrew Miller (0-2) threw wildly to first for another error, putting runners at first and third with nobody out in a tie game. Austin Jackson walked, and Alex Wilson came on and allowed Torii Hunters sacrifice fly that gave the Tigers a 5-4 lead. Miguel Cabrera was intentionally walked, and Prince Fielder hit a two-run single off Craig Breslow. Joaquin Benoit (2-0) got the final four outs for the Tigers, although he allowed a run in the ninth. The Tigers were fortunate just to tie it in the seventh. After Jacksons leadoff single, Hunter hit a line drive that second baseman Dustin Pedroia dropped. It appeared the Red Sox might get a double play out of it, because Hunter was slow getting out of the batters box, but Jackson retreated to first. Pedroia threw to first, retiring Hunter while Jackson was still standing on the base. When Boston retired Hunter, it meant Jackson was no longer forced to second, so he remained safely at first. Cabrera and Fielder followed with singles to load the bases, and after Victor Martinez struck out, Jhonny Peralta was hit by a pitch to tie it at 4. The Red Sox took a 4-3 lead in the fourth on Victorinos run-scoring groundout. Verlander allowed four runs and seven hits in five innings. He walked three and struck out four, and his ERA went up to 3.90. It was the second straight start in which he lasted only five innings. "Thats sports. Theres ups and downs. Nobodys at the peak of their game forever," Verlander said. "Ill get back there. I will. Its just, like I said, finding that click -- finding that rhythm." Detroit led 2-0 after the first inning, but Verlander gave up two runs in the second. The Tigers scored a run in the bottom of the second, but Verlander again couldnt hold the lead. Pedroia reached on an infield single, and David Ortizs single put runners on first and third. Mike Napolis grounder tied the game at 3. Boston starter Felix Doubront was in trouble at the start, walking the first two Detroit hitters and then allowing Cabreras double that bounced over the wall in centre field for the sluggers 75th RBI of the year. Fielders RBI groundout made it 2-0, but Jacoby Ellsbury made a nice sliding catch in centre on Peraltas drive for the third out, preventing any more scoring. Detroit loaded the bases for Hunter with two outs in the fourth, but Victorino made a nice catch and held on while slamming into the wall in foul ground in right. Boston is giving Andrew Bailey a break from closing after he lost Thursdays game at Detroit in the ninth inning. He came on with a one-run lead in the seventh Sunday but allowed singles to Jackson and Cabrera before giving way to Miller. Detroits bullpen has also been maligned this year, but Drew Smyly pitched 2 2-3 scoreless innings before Benoit finished. Fielder was Detroits designated hitter, leaving Martinez to make a rare appearance at first base. Martinez made a nice play in the sixth, diving to his left to knock down Ellsburys grounder, then flipping the ball backward to Smyly, who covered for the 3-1 putout. Hunter made a tumbling catch in right for the last out of the game. NOTES: Boston did not put LHP Franklin Morales on the DL after he exited Saturday nights game with discomfort in his throwing shoulder.

Where there is smoke, there is or perhaps has been a little fire. Or, in other words, the two teams would appear to have at least spoken. And spoken is defined as one calling the other to inquire, no more, no less. Vapormax Plus Clearance . -- Anaheim Ducks captain and leading scorer Ryan Getzlaf has been scratched from Sunday nights game against the Vancouver Canucks because of an upper-body injury. http://www.wholesalenikeshoesclearance.com/cheap-max-1-shoes.html . It was the kind of score that might make everyone else wonder which course he was playing. Except that Graeme McDowell saw the whole thing. Crouched behind the 10th green at Sheshan International, McDowell looked over at the powerful American and said, "Ive probably seen 18 of the best drives Ive seen all year in the last two days.

Kiriasis and brakeman Franziska Fritz finished two runs in one minute 55.41 seconds -- a mere 0.01 seconds ahead of Meyers and Lolo Jones, who likely bolstered her Olympic hopes by helping give USA-1 a huge push in the second heat.Its not often teams buy into trends or history to dictate future performances; just because it happened once - or even twice - doesnt guarantee itll happen again. The Saskatchewan Roughriders however, are likely hoping a recent trend continues for the 2013 season. The past two Grey Cup hosts - the BC Lions in 2011 and Toronto Argonauts in 2012 - have gone on to win the game in front of the home crowd. The 101st Grey Cup will be played in Saskatchewan and the Roughriders will be hoping they dont break the recent trend for host teams. The Riders have stocked up for their inevitable run this year, but will have to find a way past some stiff competition in West Division. The BC Lions had the best regular season record last year and are the oddsmakers favourites to hoist the Grey Cup this year, while the Calgary Stampeders, last years West representative in the champioonship game, could be even better with a healthy Drew Tate in 2013.dddddddddddd. Even the Edmonton Eskimos, with new QB Mike Reilly, have hopes of competing this year. Heading East, the defending champion Toronto Argonauts have to be considered the pre-season favourites to advance to a second-straight Grey Cup, but its a fools game to ever count out Anthony Calvillo and the Montreal Alouettes. Chris Williams or not, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats have the offence to make some noise so long as they can figure out their defence and get accustomed to playing in Guelph for the year. And if Buck Pierce can stay healthy, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers could have an outside shot as well. Your! Call: On the eve of the regular season opener, who is the favourite to win the 2013 Grey Cup?
