Clemens also escaped with runners in scoring position in the 2nd and 3rd innings. The Rockets took advantage of the 1st of 2 George Brett errors in the 3rd with a 2-run single from Ichiro Suzuki and a 2-run home run from Dick Allen. But in the 5th, Clemens luck ran out, as the 1st seven Boston hitters reached safely, including a 3-run homer by Harold Baines. George Brett and Frank Thomas hit back-to-back homers off Urban Shocker in the 7th to extend the lead on their way to a 12-7 victory. Baines went 5 for 6, as the Splinters collected 24 hits in the game. Bert Blyleven picked up the win, allowing 4 earned runs on 8 hits and striking out 10 in 8 innings to improve to 2-0. Kenny Lofton was 5 for 5 with 3 doubles and 3 runs scored in the losing effort. Boston has now won 5 straight, and they now move into 1st place over Detroit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/POPsS2\/Scoresheets\/04-06-2023_BOS_DET.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Splinters @ Rockets - 4\/6\/23\">Splinters @ Rockets &#8211; 4\/6\/23<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Detroit Rockets ace Roger Clemens struck out the side to get out of a bases-loaded jam in the 1st inning.
