When Reggie Smith struck out for the final out, the Red Sox had pushed across a run and had the tying tally on third base.
The Tigers led, 6-2, after scoring a run in the top of the eighth. But as is typical in Fenway Park, no lead is truly safe.
Boston scored twice in the eighth on a two-run double by Joe Foy, drawing them to within two runs. But after John Hiller worked 1/3 innings, Fred Gladdding (4) picked up the save for Wilson with 1.1 innings of shaky but successful relief.
The Tigers (13-10) hit three home runs, giving them 12 in their past six games. Don Wert, Jim Northrup and Bill Freehan all cranked balls out for Detroit.
