The Detroit Tigers finally got some offense going in their American League Championship Series with the Boston Red Sox. Fake Shoes From China . Now, theyll try to seize control of the series when they play a pivotal Game 5 at Comerica Park. After managing just six runs through the first three games, Detroit manager Jim Leyland shook up his lineup on Wednesday and the moves paid off, as the Tigers erupted for five runs in the second inning, knocked Jake Peavy out in the fourth and let Doug Fister and the bullpen do the rest in a 7-3 triumph. Torii Hunter replaced Austin Jackson in the leadoff spot and contributed a two-run double, while Jackson, perhaps motivated by the demotion to the No. 8 spot in the order, went 2-for-2 with two walks, two RBI and a run scored to help the Tigers even the best-of-seven series at two games apiece. Miguel Cabrera, batting second instead of third, also had two hits, knocked in a pair and even stole a base for the reigning AL champs, who saw Fister (1-0) scatter eight hits and a walk over six innings of one-run ball. "I think something had to be done (but)...this has nothing to do with Jim Leyland, this is about the players. They executed, they came out, they played well," Leyland said. One Tigers player who couldnt get it going was Prince Fielder, who was 0- for-4 and failed to drive in a run in 16 straight postseason games dating back to Game 1 of the 2012 ALCS. It is the 16th longest streak of all-time. The first LCS start for Peavy (0-1) was a forgettable one. The former Cy Young Award winner surrendered seven runs on five hits and three walks and was pulled without recording an out in the fourth. "No excuse. Its on me," Peavy said of his rough start. "I can promise you this, well be back tomorrow as a ballclub, as a unit." Bostons bullpen, though, did not allow a run after that, stretching its scoreless streak to 16 2/3 innings. The unit is pitching to a 0.74 ERA this postseason. The Red Sox managed 12 hits -- four from Jacoby Ellsbury -- but they were 2- for-16 with runners in scoring position and left 10 on base. Hits may be harder to come by for the Red Sox on Thursday when they go up against right-hander Anibal Sanchez, who didnt allow one over his six scoreless innings of work in Game 1. He also struck out 12, but walked six and became the first pitcher to do that in a playoff game since Hall of Famer Walter Johnson did so in 12 innings for the Washington Senators against the New York Giants in Game 1 of the 1924 World Series. Sanchez was also only the second pitcher with at least 12 strikeouts in no more than six innings in a postseason game. "My pitches were moving really good that day," said Sanchez, who led the AL with a 2.57 ERA this season. "I was ahead in some counts, that helped me striking them out. That was the key. That helped me that day." The walks were a bit out of character for Sanchez, as he averaged 2.67 walks per nine innings during the regular season. In fact, over 173 career starts, he has walked five or more batters just 11 times. "Every game is different, the pitches could be moving a lot or something like that," Sanchez said. "But I need to work on throwing strikes. The last time I threw too many away, and I dont want to do that in my next outing." Boston, meanwhile, will hand the ball to lefty Jon Lester, who was outdueled by Sanchez in Game 1. Lester gave up just one run in 6 1/3 innings of that one, but was tagged with the loss. He is now 0-3 lifetime in five ALCS games (3 starts) with a 3.97 ERA. Lester has been one of the best pitchers since the All-Star break, going 7-3 with a 2.68 ERA in his final 14 starts of the season, then allowing three runs over 14 innings (1.93 ERA) against the Rays and Tigers in two postseason starts. "Not to make it too simple, but its been his fastball command," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. "And as hes gained that consistency and the confidence with it, I think hes become a more relaxed pitcher on the mound, which enables him to pitch more freely from a physical standpoint. I think thats why were seeing the velocity climb, and its made his pitches more effective." The Tigers were 4-3 against the Red Sox in 2013, winning three of four at Comerica Park in June.

LONDON -- A season of the unexpected for Atletico Madrid will end with a shot at a first Champions League title against its fiercest rival. Having disrupted the established order of power in Spanish football, the capitals second club successfully negotiated its first European Cup semifinal in 40 years on Wednesday, overwhelming Chelsea 3-1 to setup a meeting with Real Madrid. "Theyre a very powerful club used to those big European nights," Atletico coach Diego Simeone said. "Its been many years for us as a club, so itll be a new experience. But were keen and excited." His side will also be undaunted by the prospect of facing the nine-time winners in the competitions first derby final. Simeones side could be taking the Lisbon turf on May 24 as champions of Spain for the first time since 1996. Just two wins are required from the final three domestic matches to break up the Barcelona-Real Madrid stranglehold on the trophy. "Playing like we play we are the strongest team in the world," Atletico midfielder Tiago said. "And we deserve what we have in this moment." Although former Atletico striker Fernando Torres put Chelsea in front at Stamford Bridge after a scoreless first leg, Adrian Lopez levelled before halftime and Diego Costa netted a penalty on the hour before Arda Turan capped the visitors second-half superiority with the third. "We completely controlled the game against a great side," Simeone said through a translator. It was a fourth successive semifinal loss for Jose Mourinho since winning the competition in 2010 with Inter Milan, after previous setbacks at Real Madrid before returning to manage Chelsea last year. Without Mourinho, Madrid has ended a 12-year wait to reach a Champions League final after trouncing holder Bayern Munich 4-0 on Tuesday and 5-0 on aggregate. After seeing Chelsea win the 2012 Champions League and 2013 Europa League from afar, Mourinhos first season back at the club could now end without a trophy. Although the Blues are second in the Premier League, they require leader Liverpool and third-place Manchester City, which has a game in hand, to slip-up in the final matches. If Mourinho wanted to prove criticism of recent ultra-defensive tactics didnt affect him it came with the lineup, with six defenders in the starting eleven. In an anxious opening, Mark Schwarzer, deputizing inn the Chelsea goal for the injured Petr Cech, was beaten in the fourth minute -- with only the crossbar blocking Kokes looping shot. Cheap Shoes. This was a night when Chelsea had its goalkeepers in both nets. Thibaut Courtois was making his Stamford Bridge debut, but for Atletico where he has been on loan since joining Chelsea from Genk in 2011. The Belgium international had little to do before he was picking the ball out of his goal in the 36th minute after being beaten by a player who started his career at Atletico. Willian outmuscled Diego Godin and Filipe Luis on the right flank, and as he fell over, Cesar Azpilicueta picked up possession. The Spaniard swept the ball back for Torres, who beat Courtois with a shot that deflected off Mario Suarez. Torres doesnt often get the chance to celebrate a goal -- this was just his 10th all season -- but he didnt revel in scoring against his former side. Not that Chelsea had much to celebrate for long as its defence was unpicked too easily. Tiago floated the ball to the byline where Juanfran had space to cut it back, past John Terry and Ashley Cole, to the unmarked Lopez to strike into the net. It took Schwarzers two-handed save at the start of the second half to deny Turans skilful shot from close range, while Courtois also repelled Terrys header. Chelseas search for a goal saw forward Samuel Etoo brought on in place of left back Cole in the 54th minute. The Cameroon internationals first contribution was back in defence, bringing down Diego Costa as he struggled to contain his fellow forward. Before taking the spotkick, Diego Costa placed and then re-placed the ball on the spot several times -- earning a booking for timewasting. But he eventually dispatched the ball in the net. "The penalty killed the game," Mourinho said. "After that moment the game was controlled by Atletico, very mature and professional." Although Schwarzers post kept out Turans header, the winger moved into a central position to tap the rebound into an empty net in the 72nd. There was no way back now for Chelsea. And Simeone, a nervy figure all night, was finally unburdened of his anxieties, launching himself on a Mourinho-style dash down the touchline. "He has changed our mentality," Atleticos former Chelsea midfielder Tiago said of Simeone. "We all work together, we work as a team." ' ' '
