Tanner Houck Bounces Back Against A's
5 months agoBoston Red Sox starting pitcher Tanner Houck got back on track Thursday, tossing six scoreless frames against the Oakland Athletics on the way to a 7-0 win. Houck limited the A's to two hits and three walks while striking out six. He induced seven whiffs on his slider and four on his splitter, giving him a nice balance. After two subpar outings, fantasy managers will be happy to see Houck look like his early-season self. Although he probably isn't the 1.85 ERA pitcher that we saw through May, Houck should be able to maintain an ERA in the mid three's with a good WHIP and solid strikeout numbers, making him a good fantasy option.
