Garrett Crochet on August 5 carried the Boston Red Sox to victory over the Kansas City Royals with a seven-inning, two-run outing. But Crochet was initially slated to face the Houston Astros on August 1.
The Red Sox pushed Crochet's start back as he approached his career-high in innings pitched, which he has now passed. The lefty posted 146 frames in 2024, his first full season as a starting pitcher, and he just reached uncharted territory with the Red Sox, with 148.1 innings pitched this season. Not counting a run in October, Crochet still has two months to rack up starts.
