House worked seven strong innings Sunday night versus the Royals, giving up just one earned run on five hits while recording five strikeouts in a contest that was suspended in the middle of the 10th inning due to inclement weather. Coming off of a frustrating outing this past Tuesday versus the White Sox, House bounced back with one of the strongest efforts of his rookie campaign. The young lefty surrendered a run in the bottom of the first, but followed up with six straight scoreless innings. The key for House on Sunday night was efficiency, as he found the zone with 67 percent of his deliveries and needed a modest total of 85 pitches to get through seven frames.
