Adrian Houser pitched a strong game for the Chicago White Sox, overcoming illness to secure a 4-1 win against the Kansas City Royals. Despite struggling in the sixth inning and feeling unwell, he managed to complete six innings, surrendering only one run. Houser's performance included six strikeouts and effective pitch mixing, aided by catcher Edgar Quero's guidance. A pivotal moment in the game came in the fourth inning when he escaped a bases-loaded situation without conceding a run. manager Will Venable praised Houser's smart and adaptable approach on the mound, highlighting his veteran experience.
"I've been kind of dealing with some sickness the last few days," Houser said. "I was running out of gas there in the last inning, almost had breakfast come up."
"We had a good game plan going in and stayed with it. Just a lazy fastball there to Vinnie (Pasquantino) and he took advantage of it like he should have."
"Different situations call for different things and he's adaptable and able to adjust to situations. Just a smart, veteran guy that knows what he's doing out there."
"That's the only way you can do it when you get in there," he said. "You want to try to limit the damage as much as possible."
