Garrett Crochet has thrown several memorable starts in his first season with the Red Sox.
Saturday’s performance took the cake.
Crochet recorded his first career complete game in a shutout of the Tampa Bay Rays at Fenway Park to extend the Red Sox’ winning streak to nine games. The 26-year-old southpaw tossed exactly 100 pitches and notched nine strikeouts, allowing three hits and no runs or walks in Boston’s 1-0 victory.
The stellar outing by Crochet marked his tenth win of the year and his second at home. He lowered his ERA to 2.
