The Red Sox suffered their most crushing loss of the season Tuesday — and there was no sugarcoating how bad the night was for a relief corps that failed to "put the button" on the game three times.

Javier Baez's walk-off home run for the Tigers was capped off by an epic bat flip and a very telling reaction from the Red Sox catcher.

Detroit dominated Game 1 of this series yesterday with a 14-2 victory. The Tigers had 18 hits to the Red Sox’s six with each team hitting two homers. Detroit is 6-2 in the last eight games, but 1-2 over the past three. Boston is 4-2 in the previous six games and 4-5 over the last nine.

Trevor Story is 9-for-74 (.122) with 28 strikeouts and a .350 OPS in his last 18 games. He'll get a breather as the Red Sox try to bounce back from a brutal blowout loss in Detroit.

He's not wrong on either count, but his little-league homer will forever be the highlight of a 14-batter, nine-run third inning Monday night that sent the Tigers on to a 14-2 rout of the Boston Red Sox before a fired up crowd of 20,136 at Comerica Park.

The Boston Red Sox are expected to make a decision on pitcher Tanner Houck soon, as he continues to struggle early on in the 2025 season.
