TJ House fired two shutout innings, facing the minimum and ending with a pair of strikeouts. "He was good -- really good," Francona said. "He continues to pitch down with a lot of movement. He's going to get a ton of ground balls, but he also gets some swing-and-miss, because he gets below their barrel so much."
Fantasy Impact
TJ House will try to build on his breakout season of last year which saw him post 2.25 ERA & 1.10 WHIP in his last 52 innings. If TJ House fails to secure the 5th starter job, Cleveland will enter the season with an all right-handed rotation. Perhaps this gives him the edge.
