First and foremost, thoughts and prayers to Tanner Houck who took a line drive off the face and had to exit the game. I won’t link the injury because it can be hard to watch, but if you search Twitter it shouldn’t be difficult to find. Hopefully, it’s not as bad as it looked, but there was a fairly sizeable cut on his cheek after the injury. I will say, it would be pretty awesome if he came back to pitch with a Jaylen Brown-style mask.
The Houck injury put somewhat of a damper on what was otherwise a “fun Friday night at Fenway”.
