(SportsNetwork.com) - The Detroit Tigers starting staff has been nearly unhittable in the American League Championship Series. Yet, the Tigers find themselves down, 2-1, to the Boston Red Sox. Doug Fister hopes for some run support on Wednesday when the Tigers and Red Sox play Game 4 of the ALCS at Comerica Park. Boston snatched control of the best-of-seven set on Tuesday, as Mike Napoli broke a scoreless tie with a solo home run off Justin Verlander in the seventh inning, and John Lackey and the Red Sox bullpen made the blast stand up in a 1-0 victory. The Red Sox had mustered a mere three hits and one run for the series entering the eighth inning of Sundays Game 2, when David Ortiz brought Boston back to life with a game-tying grand slam and the AL East champs rallied for a thrilling 6-5 win. They managed only four hits and struck out 10 times in eight innings against Verlander (0-1). Lackey (1-0) was splendid during his 6 2/3-inning stint, holding the Tigers to four hits and striking out eight without a walk. Three relievers finished off the shutout, with Game 2 winner Koji Uehara shutting the door with a four-out save. "John Lackey was outstanding," said Red Sox manager John Farrell. "He held his stuff throughout the entire time he was out there. Just very good work by every guy that went to the mound today." Of the previous 31 occasions, the team with the 2-1 advantage has gone on to win the series 23 times. And since the ALCS converted to a best-of-seven format in 1985, 17 of 22 teams to take a 2-1 series lead have moved on. Detroit went 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position for the game, with Torii Hunter and Victor Martinez each going 2-for-4 in the loss. "Today I thought Lackey and (catcher Jarrod) Saltalamacchia were absolutely terrific, game calling, pitch making," said Tigers manager Jim Leyland. "(Alex) Avila and Verlander were exactly the same. It was just tremendous pitching and both guys called a great game. And that pretty much sums it up." Miguel Cabrera went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts and failed to reach base in a postseason game for the first time as a Tiger and just the third time in his career, ending a 31-game, postseason-record streak. "Gotta swing at better pitches," Cabrera said. Prince Fielder, meanwhile, hasnt had an RBI in his last 57 postseason at- bats. Amazingly, the Tigers .231 average this postseason is the second-best mark of the four teams still alive. Their 23 runs, however, are the lowest total. Anibal Sanchez, Max Scherzer and Verlander have combined for a sparkling 0.86 ERA in this series. Now Fister gets the call in his second start this postseason. Fister allowed three runs in six innings as the Tigers beat Oakland 8-6 in Game 4 of the Division Series on Oct. 8. He gave up six runs and 11 hits while lasting just 3 1/3 innings in a 10-6 home loss to Boston on June 21, but held the Red Sox to four hits in seven innings of a 3-0 victory at Fenway Park on Sept. 2. "I think a lot of it is the fact of just executing - keeping the ball down, mixing pitches and not getting in any sort of routine," Fister said. "Their hitters are very smart, very intelligent. And you know, weve seen each other a lot." Boston, meanwhile, will turn to righty Jake Peavy, who hasnt pitched since helping the Red Sox eliminate the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 4 of the ALDS back on Oct. 8. Peavy surrendered a run in 5 2/3 innings of that one. Having pitched parts of the last five seasons for the Chicago White Sox, Peavy is quite familiar with the AL Central champion Tigers and is 4-5 lifetime against them with a 4.83 ERA. "I do know those guys well," Peavy said. "It comes down to (Wednesday) night, executing the game plan that we think were going to go with and get those guys out. Its a huge challenge with the way they swing the bat." The Tigers were 4-3 against the Red Sox in 2013, winning three of four at Comerica Park in June. Air Jordan China .

Twice. Andrew McCutchen tied the game with a solo homer in the ninth inning Saturday night, then connected again in the 11th inning, rallying the struggling Pittsburgh Pirates to a 6-5 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. "Strange game," manager Clint Hurdle said. "Its summertime. Strange things are happening." And some spectacular things from Pittsburghs best player. The Pirates blew a four-run lead for the second straight night, but managed to come back behind McCutchen, who has more homers against Cincinnati than anyone else since 2009. With two swings, he saved them from another discouraging meltdown. "Huge swings of the bat for us," Hurdle said. "Hes a special player." The National Leagues 2013 MVP tied it in the ninth off Jonathan Broxton, filling in the closers role because Aroldis Chapman had pitched four days in a row. He hit his 17th homer with two outs in the 11th off J.J. Hoover (1-7) for his ninth career multihomer game. "He does a lot of unreal stuff," said left-hander Justin Wilson (3-1), who escaped a threat in the 10th. "Hes an unbelievable player. Im glad Im on his team and I dont have to pitch against him." Wilson got out of a threat in the 10th with the help of right fielder Gregory Polanco, who threw Ramon Santiago out at the plate as he tried to score from second base on Jay Bruces single. "I cant take all the credit," McCutchen said. "Youve got to think of the throw from Polanco. That was a huge throw, a game-changer for us." McCutchen put the Pirates back ahead with a first-pitch homer off Hoover. "I was just ready to hit," he said. "It was a slider right down the middle, and I was ready to hit it." Jeanmar Gomez pitched the 11th for his first career save. "We know what they have over there," Bruce said. &quuot;A guy hits the tying and winning home runs -- you dont see that too often.dddddddddddd Im perfectly happy with what we did tonight, except for losing." The Reds won the series opener 6-5 by rallying in the eighth inning against All-Star reliever Tony Watson, overcoming a four-run deficit. They pulled out of a four-run deficit again on Saturday but couldnt finish it off. McCutchen has 20 career homers against Cincinnati, the most by any player in the majors since 2009. Hes hit six of them this season, including three during the first two games of the series. The Reds slipped to 7-3 on their 11-game homestand, remaining 1 1/2 games behind NL Central co-leaders Milwaukee and St. Louis. Cincinnati is 8-4 against the Pirates this season. Pittsburgh is 2-4 on a trip to St. Louis and Cincinnati. The Pirates gave up two game-ending homers in St. Louis and blew a four-run lead in the series opener, a 6-5 Reds win. The Reds got in position to win it with a pair of homers. Chris Heisey batted for Mike Leake in the sixth and hit a two-run shot off Charlie Morton. Todd Frazier -- who will participate in the All-Star home run derby next week -- completed the comeback with a three-run shot off Morton, who had given up a total of six homers coming into the game. NOTES: All-Star Johnny Cueto (9-6) starts the final game of the series for Cincinnati. The Pirates plan to activate left-hander Francisco Liriano (1-6) off the disabled list. He has recovered from a strained oblique. ... McCutchen has hit safely in 11 of the 12 games against Cincinnati this season, going 20-for-47 with four doubles, six homers and eight RBIs. ...
