Houck (3-0) allowed a run on three hits and three walks with 10 strikeouts over six innings in Saturday's win over Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Houck turned in another good effort to close out his 2020 campaign. The only mistake he made was a solo home run -- the first Houck had given up in his career -- off the bat of Dansby Swanson. The 24-year-old righty struck out 21 and allowed just two runs (one earned) over 17 innings across his first three major-league starts. The 24th overall pick from the 2017 draft could be a factor in the Red Sox rotation in 2021.
