The Boston Red Sox have yet to meet expectations, thanks in part to a historically terrible start to the season for one of their top-line starting pitchers.

There are outings when Tanner Houck shows flickers of the pitcher who made the All-Star team last season. Then, there are nights like Monday, when a mishap is so dramatic that it derails his momentum entirely.

Its Monday, May 12 and the Red Sox (22-20) are in Detroit to take on the Tigers (26-15). Tanner Houck is slated to take the mound for Boston against Jackson Jobe for Detroit.
