DETROIT — Instant reactions as the Red Sox (22-22) lose in heartbreaking fashion to the Tigers, as Javier Baéz hits two dramatic three-run homers and Detroit wins, 10-9, in 11 innings:

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.

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 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.

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.

Kristian Campbell was in a 3-for-38 funk before stepping to the plate in the 11th inning. He broke out in a big way, even if the Red Sox lost.

Wilyer Abreu’s latest home run against the Detroit Tigers on Monday helped the Boston Red Sox youngster achieve a feat only Rafael Devers and Mookie Betts had since 1988.
