Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet came just five outs away from pitching a no-hitter on Sunday afternoon against the Chicago White Sox.
But in an ironic twist, it was one of the prospects that was dealt to Chicago in order to bring Crochet to Boston that spoiled his no-no.
Chase Meidroth — who made his MLB debut against the team that drafted him in 2022 — broke up Crochet’s no-hitter with a one-out single in the eighth inning at Rate Field.
Given the links between Meidroth and Crochet, the Red Sox southpaw could only tip his cap to the the White Sox infielder after Boston’s eventual 3-1 win.
