Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet couldn’t help himself once Alex Cora made his way out of the dugout.

With just one out recorded in the sixth inning and with 85 pitches logged, Crochet cursed on the mound as Cora made his way out on the field to pull him from Wednesday’s game against the Mets.

“I was prepared to go seven, eight innings — 115 pitches if that’s what it took,” Crochet said. “Obviously we won the series yesterday. But my goal is to come in today and sweep and just give the team as much length as possible.
