Houck came away with a no-decision in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Guardians, giving up four runs on eight hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out six. The right-hander has yet to put together back-to-back strong outings this season,

The Red Sox scored three runs in the first inning to hand starting pitcher Tanner Houck an immediate 3-0 lead. The righty then immediately gave it back, allowing four runs on five hits (two doubles, three singles) in a disastrous bottom of the first inning.
