DETROIT — Jacoby Ellsbury and Carl Crawford homered in a five-run third inning to help the Red Sox beat the Tigers 6-3 on Friday.
Boston won for the 12th time in 14 games and has scored 34 runs in its last three.
Tim Wakefield picked up his 195th career win, allowing two runs on five hits in seven innings.
Rick Porcello gave up a season-high six runs in three innings in his first start since allowing one hit in eight innings vs. Pittsburgh.
Rookie Charlie Furbush kept the Tigers in the game with five shutout innings of relief. He has not allowed a run in 8 2/3 innings in his first two major-league appearances.
The Red Sox trailed 2-1 until the third. Ellsbury started the inning with a solo homer. Dustin Pedroia walked, Adrian Gonzalez singled and Kevin Youkilis gave Boston a 4-2 lead with a two-run double.
One batter later, Crawford hit his fourth homer to put Boston ahead by four. The former Ray has nine hits in his last 12 at-bats.
