A complete disaster from the Boston Red Sox opened the floodgates for the Detroit Tigers to score nine runs in the bottom of the third inning on Monday night. In what increased to an 11-0 game, Riley Greene's little league home run broke Boston's soul.

Tanner Houck couldn't finish the frame and logged another historically bad start. However, it wasn't all his fault.

Though Wilyer Abreu necessarily wouldn't have stopped the bleeding by fielding this single cleanly, Houck would have at least stood a chance to redeem himself in some capacity. But Greene's grounder rolled under his glove and all the way to the right field wall in Comerica Park.

Colt Keith and Gleyber Torres came around to score, and Greene finished the job sliding head-first into home plate as the relay throw was just a second off. The crowd erupted as the Tigers doubled their lead in a flash.

Before that, Houck hurled a wild pitch that scored a run. Greene's moment wasn't the last of the Red Sox's gaffes.

Dillon Dingler was hit by a pitch, and then Trey Sweeney clobbered a three-run homer to make it 9-0. Javy Baez singled to second base as Houck got a late break in an attempt to cover first. After another walk, former Yankee Gleyber Torres took it to his old rival with his third RBI of the night (he hit a two-run blast in the first).

Jackson Jobe is through four with only two hits and two walks allowed. Red Sox fans will tell you he's getting lucky, though, after a questionable strike call on Kristian Campbell with the bases loaded. But that doesn't change the fact the Tigers hung double digits on them. In fact, it was a first for Detroit dating back to 2008.

Houck exited the game after 2 1/3 innings pitched. He allowed 11 runs on nine hits and three walks. He has an 8.04 ERA on the season and the Red Sox may need to make a serious decision with their starting rotation soon.

And we we were ever worried about the Tigers' pitching after a few hiccups? Ha.
