It was a night to forget for Red Sox pitcher Tanner Houck, who turned in one of the worst performances by any starter in MLB so far this season in Monday’s blowout loss to the Tigers.

Houck's first meltdown start occurred on April 14, when he gave up 12 runs (11 earned) over the span of 2 ⅓ innings against the Tampa Bay Rays. It was the worst outing by a Red Sox pitcher in more than 60 years. He nearly topped that Monday.

The Red Sox have a Tanner Houck problem. Four weeks ago, the unthinkable happened in Tampa when Houck allowed 12 runs (11 earned) on 10 hits in 2 ⅓ innings in Tampa. On Monday, history repeated itself with another massive blow-up.
