Boston Red Sox left fielder Masataka Yoshida had his third multihit game of the season in a 6-3 win over the Detroit Tigers on Thursday.

The two-time Pacific League batting champion ran out an infield single in the second inning at Comerica Park in Detroit for his first hit since homering for the first time in his major league rookie year on Monday.

Yoshida also doubled down the right-field line in the ninth on a 2-for-3 day that raised his batting average to .250.

"Results are what matter in the regular season," Yoshida said. "I'm happy with an H (for a hit) flashed on the scoreboard no matter how I get it."

Adam Duvall broke a 3-3 tie with a three-run home run in the sixth inning. Chris Sale picked up his first win of the season after allowing three runs in five innings of work.

Yoshida grounded into a double play and drew a walk in his other plate appearances.
