The Boston Red Sox, despite initial predictions of contention for the AL East, have struggled at the season's start with a 1-4 record. Tanner Houck, in his debut against the Rangers, conceded four runs on seven hits. As the Red Sox prepare to face Charlie Morton, both pitchers hope for improved performances. Meanwhile, in a notable game, the Rangers edged the Reds 1-0, with Jack Leiter delivering an exceptional pitching performance, preserving the winning streak for Texas.
The preseason prognosticators predicted the Red Sox would be serious contenders to win the AL East. Those crystal balls may need to be recalibrated.
Boston has gotten off to a rotten start, going 1-4, with Tanner Houck losing his season debut to the Rangers after allowing four runs on seven hits.
Expect both pitchers to have better outings as the Sox face Charlie Morton in Baltimore, who similarly struggled in his previous game.
In a separate game, the Rangers' Jack Leiter dominated, one-hitting the Reds, while Hunter Greene kept the score tight, allowing just one run.
