Houchens came in as relief, striking out four of the eight batters he faced. Fastball sat 77-80 mph with run through the zone. Slider was in the upper 60s and was thrown for strikes. Houchens also showed the ability to field his position, assisting the final two outs of his appearance with a 1-6-3 double play.
