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.

Disgraced NFL star Greg Hardy slams 'rumors' after shocking arrest for allegedly assaulting family member
Disgraced former NFL star and UFC fighter Greg Hardy is calling for privacy after his latest domestic violence arrest in Texas. On Tuesday, the 36-year-old posted video of himself at a trampoline park with a woman and two young children, presumed to be Hardy's partner, son and daughter. Hardy is seen kissing the woman in the video while the smiling children are playing on the trampoline. 'Please stop spreading what these chaos machines post, they don't know any facts then fuel the fire that effects (sic) my kids and my wife,' he wrote. 'Things get emotional but has never and will never be what you clowns are trying to spread. I ask with all my heart please, My family and I are all perfectly fine.' Hardy ended the post: 'Please stop spreading lies and rumors and give our family the time and space to work through it all in private.' Although he refers to her as his 'wife,' it's unclear if Hardy and the woman are actually married. Daily Mail has reached out to the Richardson (Texas) Police Department for further information and an incident report. Last week, the department reported Hardy allegedly put his hands on his partner after she accused him of infidelity. The one-time Dallas Cowboys defensive end is accused of pushing the woman and putting his hands around her neck. Police also reported scratches and redness on her body they believed to be 'consistent with a physical altercation,' according to police documents obtained by TMZ. Tai Tuivasa of Australia (top) takes down Greg Hardy in the first round in their heavyweight bout during UFC 264: Poirier v McGregor 3 at T-Mobile Arena on July 10, 2021 in Las Vegas Hardy admitted to police he was involved in a dispute with his partner, but claimed he simply moved her out of his way. He was arrested on a charge of 'assault causing bodily injury family member.' Hardy was infamously arrested on domestic violence allegations in May of 2014 when he was accused of assaulting his then-girlfriend in Charlotte during his time with the Carolina Panthers. As the woman told Charlotte Mecklenburg Police, Hardy threw her down on a sofa that was covered in 'assault rifles and/or shotguns.' Hardy was found guilty of assault and communicating threats. He sentenced him to 18 months' probation, but appealed the decision, requesting a jury trial. When the accuser did not show in court, prosecutors dropped the charges. The prosecutors later claimed to have received 'reliable information' the two sides reached a settlement. Hardy was ultimately suspended 10 games, but that ban was then reduced to four games. He went on to sign with the Cowboys before embarking on a combat career in 2016. In total he has 13 MMA fights and four boxing bouts, although he's failed to distinguish himself in either arena.
