BOSTON — Enmanuel Valdez homered twice for his first career multihomer game and drove in three runs to power the Boston Red Sox past the Detroit Tigers 6-3. The Red Sox improved to 32-9 while wearing their City Connect uniforms with bright yellow jerseys and powder blue lettering, numbers and hats since they were introduced in 2021. Gio Urshela hit a two-run homer over the Green Monster for Detroit, which lost for the 12th time in its last 14 against Boston. Boston center fielder Ceddanne Rafaela made spectacular full-length diving catch on Wenceel Pérez's shot in the sixth and turned it into an inning-ending double play.
