"Sonny Gray pitched five innings in his return from injury and the Boston Red Sox finished a three-game sweep of the Detroit Tigers with a 4-0 win on Wednesday night. Gray (3-1) was making his first start since facing the Tigers on April 20 at Fenway Park - a game he left after 2 2/3 innings with a strained hamstring. He gave up four hits and two walks while striking out two on Wednesday."
"Flaherty struck out the first five batters he faced, but gave up two runs in each of the next two innings. Marcelo Mayer led off the third for the Red Sox with an infield single off Colt Keith's glove at third base and Flaherty hit Carlos Narváez with a pitch. Caleb Durbin made it 1-0 with an RBI double and Willson Contreras added a sacrifice fly."
"Detroit played without manager A.J. Hinch, who was suspended one game for Tuesday's bench-clearing incident against the Red Sox. Tigers starter Framber Valdez was originally suspended six games for hitting Story, but it was dropped to five games when he didn't appeal."

Hinch, who received a one-game suspension for Tuesday's bench-clearing incident.
