On the Board 1st: Tanner Houck got off to a rough start Wednesday night.  The Sox starter allowed the 1st 3 hitters to reach with a pair of singles and a walk.  After Houck struck out Pete Alonso, he allowed a Grand Slam to Jesse Winker.  Houck retired the next 2 batters and went on to retire 13 in a row at 1 point and he also struck out 6 straight hitters during that stretch.  Houck gave up a couple of hits with 2 outs in the 5th, but stranded both runners to end his night.

#89's Final Line- 5.0 IP. 5 Hits. 4 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 7 Ks. 1 Home Run allowed.
