Tigers shellac Tanner Houck, rock Red Sox 14-2
May 13 - Trey Sweeney blasted a three-run homer as part of a nine-run third inning as the host Detroit Tigers cruised to a 14-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Monday night.
Gleyber Torres had three hits, including a two-run homer, and drove in three runs. Javier Baez had three hits and knocked in two runs, Riley Greene drove in two runs and Kerry Carpenter scored three times.
Jackson Jobe (3-0) held Boston to one run on three hits, walking five and striking out seven in 5 2/3 innings.
Wilyer Abreu and Abraham Toro homered for the Red Sox. Tanner Houck (0-3) was charged with 11 runs and nine hits in 2 1/3 innings.
The Tigers took a 2-0 lead in the first on Torres' homer.
The Red Sox left the bases loaded in the top of the third, then the Tigers sent 14 batters to the plate in their huge inning.
Carpenter got it going with a double then Torres and Colt Keith walked, loading the bases. With Greene batting, Houck uncorked a wild pitch to allow Carpenter to score and the other runners to move up.
With the infield in, Greene bounced a single into right field. Right fielder Abreu allowed the ball to get past him and roll all the way to the wall. Greene streaked around the bases and slid home safely to make it 6-0.
After the first out of the inning, Zach McKinstry singled and Dillon Dingler was hit by a pitch. Sweeney then ripped a Houck sweeper over the right-center field wall.
Baez singled and Carpenter walked before an RBI single from Torres. That ended Houck's night, but pinch hitter Justyn-Henry Malloy greeted Sean Newcomb with an RBI single to end the barrage, leaving the score at 11-0.
Baez's RBI single in the fourth increased the Tigers' advantage to 12 runs. The Red Sox got on the board with Abreu's 11th homer leading off the sixth.
Baez had another run-scoring hit in the sixth. Detroit scored an unearned run in the seventh.

Transfer QB Dante Reno to play for father at Yale
June 9 - Former South Carolina quarterback Dante Reno is transferring to Yale to play for his father, longtime Bulldogs head coach Tony Reno. Dante Reno was a three-star prospect in the Class of 2024 out of Cheshire (Conn.) Academy, where he was an Under Armour All-American and an Elite 11 finalist. Dante Reno made a brief appearance in one game for the Gamecocks last season and took his redshirt, entering the transfer portal after spring practice at South Carolina. He has four years of eligibility remaining. "It means everything," the 6-foot-2, 214-pound Reno told 247Sports about his choice of Yale and his father. "It's a great opportunity to be close to home and play in front of him and my family." Tony Reno has coached at Yale since 2012 and has a 74-46 record. His teams have won four of the past seven Ivy League championships (2017, 2019, 2022, and 2023). "My dad's a proven winner," the younger Reno said. "Won four championships and puts guys in the NFL, and gets guys drafted. I'm super excited to compete." The Bulldogs, who compete at the FCS level, finished last season with a 7-3 record (4-3 Ivy League). --Field Level Media
