Last time the Tigers were in Fenway Park was for Game 6 of the American League Championship Series. And Max Scherzer was on the mound.

Several players in tonight's starting lineup weren't even with the team then, though.

The Tigers (24-12) bring an eight-game road win streak into the game, the longest since 2006. At 11-4, it's also the best 15-game road start since the '06 campaign.

Only two teams in franchise history have a better start through 36 games — 1984 at 31-5 and 1961 at 25-11. The 1982 team started 24-12, as well.

The Tigers are 9-2 against left-handed starters so far this season.
