The Boston Red Sox prioritize starting pitching for the 2024 season. Tanner Houck's impressive pitching led to a 12-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels, maintaining a dominant presence on the mound.
"Personally, for Houck, displaying an ability to go deeper into starts was priority No. 1, which hasn't appeared to be an issue yet." Houck's performance, including 2-0 record with 17 strikeouts and a 0.75 WHIP, reflects his success in this aspect.
"Feels good to start out this way," said Houck, noting improvements in his pitches. The confidence booster from his strong performance, including the slider and splitter, contributes to his early success.
"Coming into this season, we recognized how challenging it is to come to the West Coast right away. The organization did everything possible to put these guys in a situation where they were gonna be fresh and ready to go. Credit to them, they did an outstanding job." - Red Sox manager Alex Cora commends the team's preparation for the West Coast road trip.
