Riley Greene sparks Tigers’ 14-2 rout with ‘Little League’ home run

The Detroit Tigers defeated the Boston Red Sox 14-2 on Monday night at Comerica Park in the series opener.
The Tigers jumped out to an early advantage with a two-run homer by Gleyber Torres and put up a total of 11 runs during the opening three innings, marking their highest output in that span since 2008.
Starting pitcher Jackson Jobe pitched 5 2/3 innings, giving up a single run while striking out seven batters. In contrast, Tanner Houck struggled, surrendering 11 runs on nine hits and three walks across just 2 1/3 innings.
Riley Greene lined a ball to right field that Boston’s Wilyer Abreu misplayed, allowing it to roll to the wall and turning the play into a “Little League home run,” while Trey Sweeney contributed a three-run blast in the third inning.
With this win, the Tigers improved to an AL-best 27-15, maintaining momentum as Boston looks to rebound with Brayan Bello starting Tuesday’s game.
