Tanner Houck delivered a stellar performance, allowing no earned runs and just one hit over five innings in Monday's 4-1 victory over the Blue Jays.
Fantasy Impact:
He walked one and, notably, struck out none, relying on contact management and solid defense to navigate through the game efficiently. This outing, marked by Houck's ability to suppress runs without the aid of strikeouts, underscores his evolution as a pitcher who can succeed even without overpowering stuff. His season ERA now improves to an impressive 3.12, reinforcing his status as a reliable option in fantasy rotations. While his low strikeout count for the game might concern some, his consistent control and ability to limit base runners (1.14 WHIP) should keep him valuable in most formats.
