Locked On Red Sox

The Red Sox dropped the series opener, 14-2, to the Detroit Tigers on Monday night at Comerica Park in Detroit.  The Tigers led 2 hitters in on Gleyber Torres 2-run Home Run off losing pitcher Tanner Houck.  Detroit sent 14 hitters to the plate in the Bottom of the 3rd and scored 9 runs to chase Houck from the game. Houck went 2.1 Innings and gave up 11 runs, all earned, on 9 hits (2 Home Runs), 3 walks and 1 hit batter. It's the 2nd time this season where Houck has allowed 11 earned runs in a road start.  -----Houck On The Hill: Houck's ugly line is above in case you tried to ignore it. The Red Sox are now 2-7 in Houck's 1st 9 starts this season and he's still without a win.  Houck has allowed 11 earned runs and 5 Home Runs in the 1st-Inning this season. He’s given up 10 Home Runs thru his 1st 9 starts (43.2) after allowing only 11 Home Runs last season in 178.2 Innings.  It may be time to have some serious discussions about Houck being taken out of the starting rotation.  -----#'s of the NIGHT: Red Sox pitc
