The rookie righty was strong against the potent Astros, allowing one run over six-plus innings while striking out a career-high seven for the win. Thursday's series finale at Fenway will mark his first start against the Red Sox.
The lefty is having a career year. In 14 Fenway starts, Pomeranz is 8-2 with a 3.24 ERA. He pitched for the A's in 2014-15. His only appearance vs. Oakland was earlier this season when he gave up one earned run in four innings and got a no-decision.
