97.1 The Ticket -- Only in little league and Spring Training can a baseball game end in a tie.

But on Monday, the Tigers' 11-11 tie with the Red Sox felt more like a win.

The Tigers scored six runs in the ninth inning, capped off by Travis Demeritte's three-run home run to tie the game.

It was Demeritte's second home run of the game, with the other coming in the sixth inning, when he pinch-hit for C.J. Cron.

The Tigers acquired Demeritte last July from the Atlanta Braves in a trade deadline day move for right-handed reliever Shane Greene. He hit .225 wth three homers and 10 RBIs in 48 games with Detroit last season.

Detroit is 4-4 in the Grapefruit league so far.
