BOSTON (Interstat) — Jahmai Jones hit a two-run single in the fifth inning, and the Detroit Tigers secured an American League playoff spot with a 2-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Saturday afternoon at Fenway Park. The win, before a crowd of 36,478, guarantees the Tigers at least a wild card.

Kyle Montero and four Detroit relievers combined to hold Boston to one run on seven hits. Tyler Holton earned the win in relief, and Will Vest closed it for his 23rd save. Connelly Early took the loss for the Red Sox. Detroit improved to 87-74, while Boston fell to 88-73.
