Manages quality start Saturday Houser didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Red Sox, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks in six innings. He struck out two.

Impact Houser may not have been dominant, as he fanned just two while walking three, but he did just enough to hold the Red Sox in check and log his second straight quality start. The right-handler's effectiveness has taken a hit since he joined the Rays, as he has a 4.65 ERA over 50.1 innings for Tampa Bay, but it's still been a fine campaign as a whole. Across 119 frames, Houser has a 3.18 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 87:36 K:BB. He's set to wrap up the year next weekend in Toronto.

Goes six strong in no-decision Houser didn't factor into the decision against the Cubs on Sunday, allowing two runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out two over six innings.

Impact Houser yielded an early run in the first inning but settled in after that, blanking Chicago over the next four frames before surrendering a solo homer to Ian Happ in the sixth. The outing marked the right-hander's first quality start since July 25, snapping a rough seven-start stretch in which he posted a 4.93 ERA across 38.1 innings. Houser will look to build on Sunday's bright spots in his next projected start against the Red Sox next weekend.

Fans season-high eight in win Houser (8-4) earned the win over the Mariners on Wednesday, allowing four runs on four hits and one walk while striking out eight over seven innings.

Impact Houser cruised through the first five frames, allowing just one baserunner, before a disastrous sixth inning, when he surrendered all four of his runs, including a three-run homer to Julio Rodriguez that just scraped over the wall. Despite the stumble, Houser still logged a season-high eight strikeouts and was good enough to take home the win. Since being acquired by the Rays, however, he's allowed four or more runs in four of six starts, posting a 4.91 ERA and 27:10 K:BB across 33 innings during that stretch. The 32-year-old will look to replicate the strong early innings from Wednesday's outing in his next scheduled start against the White Sox.

Quick hook in no-decision Houser came away with a no-decision in Friday's 4-1 win over the Nationals, allowing one run on six hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out four.

Impact The right-hander tossed an inefficient 86 pitches (51 strikes) before getting lifted with Tampa Bay up 3-1, missing out on his eighth win of the season. Houser's performance so far in a Rays uniform hasn't matched what he accomplished earlier in the year with the White Sox, and through five starts for his new squad he's managed a 4.85 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 19:9 K:BB through 26 innings. He'll try to get on track in his next outing, which lines up to come at home next week against the Mariners.
