Game 55: Detroit Tigers 2 Boston Red Sox 3 
6/5/06, 10:46am
Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Rollercoaster comes crashing down for a second straight outing.  Todd Jones blew his second save and is now 0-3 on the year.  Jones wasted a great start from Kenny Rogers who only gave up a single run in seven innings.  Joel Zumaya continued to pitch well with his 13 hold on the year with a scoreless eighth.  Kevin Youkilis hit a two run homer off the Rollercoaster to erase the 2-1 lead in the ninth.

Detroit got to Schilling in the first inning scoring on back-to-back doubles by Polanco and Thames.  The Tigers added their second run in the fifth by stringing together three singles by Monroe, Wilson and Polanco.  Rogers and Schilling battled in a pitcher dual until the unfortunate end for the Tigers.  Rogers only allowed a single run in the fourth on a RBI single by Manny Ramirez.  After Jones blew the save Papelbon came on for his 20th save on the season.
