Red Sox pitching prospect Keith Couch didn’t allow a hit until the seventh inning Tuesday in a no-decision for Triple-A Pawtucket.
Couch unraveled quickly after allowing a leadoff single and didn’t make it out of the seventh inning. 57 of his 87 pitches went for strikes. For Couch, it was a much better outing than his previous start when he gave up five runs in just 2/3 of an inning in a loss to Charlotte. The 25-year-old’s 4.27 K/9 leaves a lot to be desired.
