Tanner Houck Strikes Out the Side in Strong Rehab Appearance for Worcester

Tanner Houck made a sharp rehab appearance for Triple-A Worcester, striking out the side in a dominant outing against the Durham Bulls. Houck's strong showing comes as he works his way back, and it is starting to look increasingly likely that he will see major-league innings in a relief capacity for the Boston Red Sox as their magic number dwindles down the stretch of the regular season. His bullpen work helped set the stage for Worcester's eventual 2-1 extra-inning victory.
