😱💥 “Strike Three, You’re Out!” Red Sox’s Tanner Houck Takes a Liner to the Face! 💨⚾️
TL;DR: Talk about a wild pitch! Red Sox’s star pitcher Tanner Houck took a line drive to the face and hightailed it to the clubhouse. A “facial contusion” was the official word, but no further deets were spilled. Meanwhile, rookie Joe Jacques got his moment in the sun, replacing Houck on the mound. In a shocking twist, the hit that Houck didn’t see coming was a sinker from Kyle Higashioka, clocking in at a cool 89.7 mph! 🤯⏱️
Ever imagine taking an 89.7 mph missile to the face? Well, Red Sox’s Tanner Houck can tell you it’s no walk in the park! In a scene straight out of a baseball nightmare, Houck was knocked off his feet by a line drive hit directly to his face, and trust us, there wasn’t much time for a duck and cover! 🦆🛡️
Before the fifth inning could even get underway, the game took a hair-raising turn. On the very first pitch, our man Houck took a mean shot to the cheek. Now, we’re no doctors here at Turnt Up News, but we reckon that’s gonna leave quite the shiner! 🩺🤕
Houck went down faster than a sack of potatoes, and his teammates and medical staff were all over him quicker than you can say “baseball”. With a sizeable cut on his cheek, but thankfully avoiding his eyes and mouth, Houck made a quick exit, towel over face, to the clubhouse. Talk about a dramatic exit, right? 🏃💨
So what do the Red Sox have to say about this? “Facial contusion”, they say. But we’re left wondering, how bad is it really? 🧐
While Houck was off to nurse his wounds, rookie Joe Jacques stepped up to the plate. Quite the opportunity, eh? But we can’t help but wonder, was Jacques ready for the big leagues or was he shaking in his cleats? ⚾👟
But let’s not forget the hitter, Kyle Higashioka. His sinker sent Houck packing at a blistering exit velocity of 89.7 mph. Now that’s some power! But was Higashioka feeling a little guilty, or was he just focused on the game? 🤔💥
Despite his early exit, Houck was looking set for a win with a hefty 13-1 lead. He’d only allowed one run on four hits and a walk with two strikeouts. Sounds like a stellar performance, doesn’t it? 🌟⚾️
And finally, here’s the million-dollar question: How will this incident shake up the Red Sox’s game? Will Houck’s injury take him out for the season or will he bounce back, ready to pitch again? And what about Jacques? Will he rise to the occasion or crack under the pressure? One thing’s for sure, there’s never a dull moment in baseball! 😅💭🔥
