BOSTON (AP) — Franchy Cordero had 3 hits, including a 2-run single, and Josh Winckowski made the longest start of his short career on Monday night to help the Boston Red Sox beat the Detroit Tigers 5-2.

Jarren Duran had 2 hits, 2 stolen bases and 2 runs for Boston, which won for the sixth time in eight games to climb to a season-high six games above .500. Duran doubled and scored on Rafael Devers’ double to break a third-inning tie.

Making his third major league appearance, Winckowski (2-1) allowed 2 runs on 7 hits and a walk, striking out 2 in 6 2/3 innings. He has gone three innings, five innings and now pitched into the seventh, throwing 92 pitches — also a career high.

Tanner Houck pitched the ninth for his fifth save.

Alex Faedo (1-4) lasted just 4 1/3 innings for the Tigers, who had won two straight after losing six in a row. The 26-year-old right-hander allowed 5 runs — 4 earned — on 8 hits and 2 walks, striking out 2 batters.

The Red Sox took a 1-0 lead in the first when Duran drew a leadoff walk, stole second and scored on J.D. Martinez’s single. After the Tigers tied it in the top of the second, Duran and Devers hit back-to-back doubles to make it 2-1.

Boston added one in the fourth before Alex Verdugo singled with one out in the fifth and Trevor Story doubled him to third to chase Faedo. Cordero lined Tyler Alexander’s first pitch to center to make it 5-1.

Downs, who did not play, was acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers in the Mookie Betts trade. He was batting .180 in Triple-A.

UP NEXT: LHP Rich Hill (2-4) will start for Boston against Detroit RHP Beau Brieske (1-5) in the middle game of a three-game series.
