Red Sox’ Garrett Crochet chases chance to become Boston’s third pitcher to complete prestigious achievement originally appeared on The Sporting News Boston Red Sox superstar ace Garrett Crochet has been one of the most dominant pitchers this season, and he has a chance to make history with his performance.

For a pitcher of Garrett Crochet’s caliber, a bad start like last week’s seven-run, four-homer game against the Guardians can seem like just a blip. To Crochet, it sure didn’t feel that way.

With the Red Sox in desperate need of a bounce-back performance, Garrett Crochet delivered against the Yankees with a strong start.

The Boston Red Sox took another step back in the standings despite a second straight fantastic outing by rookie starting pitcher Connelly Early.

Boston Red Sox left-handed rookie Connelly Early ran through the Oakland Athletics — again. Early, who threw five scoreless innings when he made his Major League debut against Oakland last week, started his first-ever game at Fenway Park on Tuesday night.
