DETROIT -- Max Scherzer allowed two runs in the first inning -- and by the time he took the mound again, he had a two-run lead. Its been that kind of season for the Detroit right-hander. Scherzer won his 11th straight decision to start the year and Victor Martinez hit a first-inning grand slam to lead the Tigers to a 10-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Saturday night. Scherzer was terrific after that shaky beginning, and as usual his teammates gave him plenty of run support. "Its nice to start a season 11-0. It just means were playing great team baseball and Im going out there and doing my job," Scherzer said. "Im credited a ton of run support. Thats when youve got to give all the credit to your teammates. Every time I feel like I go deep into a game, theyre going to pick me up. They have the whole entire season." Scherzer allowed a couple runs in the first, including a towering solo homer by David Ortiz, but Martinezs drive put the Tigers ahead to stay. Martinez also hit an RBI double in the fifth, and Scherzer shut down Boston after the first. He allowed two runs and six hits in seven innings. Allen Webster (0-2) gave up five runs and eight hits in 4 1-3 innings. He struck out five and walked two. "The four runs given back in the first set the tone for the entire evening," Boston manager John Farrell said. "I think he settled down after the first inning and pitched OK." Red Sox reliever Franklin Morales yielded four runs, including a two-run homer by Omar Infante. Farrell said Morales could go on the disabled list because of left shoulder discomfort. Scherzer became the first pitcher to start 11-0 since Roger Clemens in 1997, according to STATS. The last to start 12-0 also was Clemens, during a 14-0 stretch to begin his AL MVP season in 1986. "I realize that it takes so many other teammates to put me in that position," Scherzer said. "This is a credit to the Detroit Tigers, for me being in this position. I know Ive pitched well, and I know Ive given my team a chance to win, but it doesnt always go that way." The first two hitters singled off Scherzer, and Dustin Pedroias double-play grounder gave Boston a 1-0 lead. Ortizs 16th homer put the Red Sox up by two. Detroit erased that deficit in a hurry. After singles by Austin Jackson and Torii Hunter, Miguel Cabrera drew a walk. Prince Fielder struck out, but Martinezs line drive cleared the wall in right for his third career slam. "Its big, when you give an answer like that," Martinez said. "Its always big to come right back, especially with Max on the mound. Everybody knows how well hes been throwing the ball." Scherzer allowed only two hits in the next four innings. In the fourth, Mike Carps tapper went for an infield hit, and he went to third on the play when Scherzer threw wildly to first for an error. Carp was stranded after Daniel Navas flyout. Jose Iglesias appeared to have a double in the fifth, but he stumbled past second base while beating Hunters throw from right field and was tagged out. Ortiz hit a drive in the sixth that Jackson ran down in deep left-centre. Scherzer struck out his final batter in the seventh -- Jarrod Saltalamacchia -- for his sixth strikeout. Hes reached that mark in all 15 starts this year. Scherzer lowered his ERA to 3.05. Hes received 7.84 runs of support per nine innings, the most in baseball. The Tigers kept right on scoring Saturday. Andy Dirks singled, stole second and came home on Jacksons single in the fourth. Webster was lifted with nobody on in the fifth, and Morales allowed a walk to Fielder, a run-scoring double by Martinez and an RBI single by Jhonny Peralta. Infantes homer in the seventh made it 9-2. Fielder hit into a bases-loaded double play in the eighth, bringing another run home. Saltalamacchia hit an RBI single in the ninth. NOTES: Jackson, Hunter and Dirks each had three hits. ... Ortizs 18 homers at Comerica Park are the most there by a visiting player, according to STATS. ... For a second straight night, Shane Victorino tried to throw out Cabrera at first base from right field on what looked like a clean single. Cabrera has beaten the throw both times. Victorino also tried it on a hard single by Hunter and nearly got him. In the ninth, Hunter charged Ortizs single as if he wanted to try to throw to first, but Fielder wasnt covering the bag. ... Detroit C Alex Avila (bruised left forearm) is expected to be with Triple-A Toledo on Sunday for a rehab assignment. He has been on the DL since June 17 and expects to be ready when hes eligible to come off. ... Detroit ace Justin Verlander (8-5) faces Boston LHP Felix Doubront (4-3) on Sunday. Air Force 1 Sale . Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006. Air Force 1 Green Outlet . Halifax beat the Saint John Sea Dogs 7-5 on the strength of two goals apiece from Nikolaj Ehlers, Matt Murphy and Brent Andrews.

Rinne played two periods in his first game since left hip surgery in early May. Gabriel Bourque scored 3:07 into the second period and Austin Watson tallied 5:15 later for Nashville. Air Force 1 Discount . As the crowd erupted, Davis knocked the ball off the glass and back into his hands. With 1:14 to go in overtime, Davis sixth block also became his 17th rebound. That, along with his 32 points -- which tied a career high -- proved too much for Denver to overcome, and the Pelicans held on for their third straight victory, 111-107 on Sunday night. Air Force 1 Replica . PETERSBURG, Fla.Former All Blacks captain Richie McCaw wants New Zealand to change their flag to one with a silver fern. The 35-year-old, who earlier this week was named New Zealander of the Year, said he felt his country needed to change the flag when he ran out ahead of last years World Cup final against Australia.McCaw won 148 Test caps for the All Blacks and, as one of the countrys greatest ever sportsmen, his opinion carries substantial weight. The moment when I decided a new flag would be great for our country (was when) running out at Twickenham and seeing the two flags looking so similar. Richie McCaw New Zealand is currently undergoing a two-part referendum to determine whether or not to change its flag, with the second phase due to be held next month when a design featuring a fern on a blue and black background, will face off against New Zealands current flag.The existing flag features the United Kingdoms Union Jack in the corner and four red stars in a Southern Crosss formation, indicating New Zealands location in the South Pacific.ddddddddddddThe moment when I decided a new flag would be great for our country [was when] running out at Twickenham and seeing the two flags looking so similar, McCaw wrote on his Facebook page on Sunday, with a picture of the two flags side by side. Richie McCaw holds up the Webb Ellis Cup after winning the World Cup in 2011 The silver fern has always been the special symbol on the All Black jersey that represents who we are as Kiwis, so the new flag with a silver fern as a part of it would be a great option I believe.McCaw joined fellow All Blacks team mate Dan Carter, who now plays in France, as two high-profile sports people to come out in favour of a new flag in the last week.
