As the Detroit Tigers have already shown this weekend, a game with the Boston Red Sox truly is not over until the final out. In Sunday’s series finale, the host Tigers seek to parlay the momentum from a comeback victory into their first consecutive wins over Boston in nearly three years. Boston suffered a three-game sweep at Detroit from July 6-8, 2007, but had dominated since, winning 12 of 15 against the Tigers culminating with a 7-2 victory in Friday’s series opener. The Red Sox appeared on their way to another easy win Saturday, but Detroit plated three in the sixth inning, and two more in the eighth to erase a 6-1 deficit. The Tigers won 7-6 in 12 innings as Ramon Santiago drew a bases-loaded walk off reliever Ramon Ramirez. It was the latest remarkable comeback for a team that’s becoming accustomed to them. The Tigers have won a major league-high five games this season after trailing by at least four runs. The Red Sox have pulled off four such rallies of their own, while no other team in baseball has done it more than once.

Boston has to like its chances to secure a fifth consecutive series win over Detroit with John Lackey on the mound. Lackey is 6-1 with a 3.73 career ERA versus the Tigers, including a 4-0 record and 3.46 ERA in four starts at Comerica Park. Lackey also earned a win in his last outing despite a lackluster performance. The right-hander yielded six runs, eight hits and three walks over six innings Monday, but got credit for a 7-6 victory over Toronto. He’d lasted seven innings and given up three runs or fewer in each of his previous three starts.Lackey will be opposed by Armando Galarraga, whom the Tigers have summoned from Triple-A Toledo to make his major league season debut. Galarraga’s future appeared bright after he went 13-7 with a 3.73 ERA as a rookie in 2008, but he opened this season in the minors after going 6-10 with a 5.64 ERA in 2009.
