BOSTON (AP) --
      BOSTON (AP) - Mike Lowell, who entered the game after Kevin
Youkilis was ejected for charging the mound and inciting a
bench-clearing scuffle, hit two home runs to lead the Boston Red
Sox to a 7-5 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday night.
      Lowell hit a solo homer in the third to break a 3-3 tie, then
added a two-run shot in the fifth to make it 6-3. He also scored on
Jason Bay's three-run homer after entering the game in the second
inning as a pinch-runner when Detroit starter Rick Porcello was
ejected for hitting Youkilis and sparking the melee.
      Junichi Tazawa allowed three runs - just one earned - while
walking two and striking out six in five innings in his first
major-league start.
