The Red Sox had lost four games in a row heading into Sunday’s Roku broadcast and it turned out that a new broadcast was the shot in the arm the bats needed.
Now they’ve got Tanner Houck on the mound today. Last week the Sox lost Houck’s start as he gave up 3 runs (1 earned) over 5.2 innings. Like basically that entire series and the first two games against the St. Louis Cardinals it was winnable. Before that he allowed 3 runs against the Washington Nationals and lost. And allowing 4 runs to the Minnesota Twins the start before that was another loss.
