A fragmented, cubist-inspired visual interpretation of a struggling pitcher's mechanics, reflecting the early season challenges faced by San Francisco Giants starter Adrian Houser.Tahlequah TodaySan Francisco Giants starting pitcher Adrian Houser has gotten off to a rough start in the 2026 MLB season, allowing nine runs over his first three outings. Houser, a 33-year-old right-hander, signed a two-year, $22 million deal with the Giants in the offseason after splitting the 2025 campaign between the Rays and White Sox.
Why it matters
The Giants are hoping Houser can provide a veteran presence in their starting rotation, but his early struggles have been a concern as the team looks to compete in the NL West. Houser's ability to bounce back and find his form will be crucial for the Giants' playoff aspirations.
The details
In his Giants debut on April 12, Houser allowed three runs (one earned) on seven hits and a walk over 5.1 innings in a loss to the Padres. He followed that up by giving up four runs on five hits and two walks over 4.2 innings in a loss to the Orioles on April 16. Most recently, Houser yielded four runs on nine hits and two walks over six innings in a no-decision against the Phillies on April 24.
