Third consecutive really nice outing by Houck. Maybe he's figured something out.
I think you can really extend it to five.

7/12/18 - While his line was 6 IP, 5 R/ER, 5 H, 2 BB, 4 K... he was extended into the seventh. If he had been pulled directly after six, his line would have been 6 IP, 2 H, 1 R/ER, 1 BB, 4 K.

It is his fifth consecutive game pitching at least six full frames. And, his fourth of five giving up one run on fewer (which could have been all five).

That's really encouraging.

Duran with triple #10
Yeah, that's ten triples in 147 at bats to go along with 5 doubles and a home run. I was curious if the HR was inside-the-park but it's listed in the log just as a fly ball. He's batting .347 and although MILB has him listed as a second baseman on his web page, he played CF.
