Crochet Dominates as Red Sox Win Fourth Straight Series

Garrett Crochet continued his dominant season for the Boston Red Sox by leading them to a 3-1 victory over the Seattle Mariners, allowing just one run in six innings with eight strikeouts and no walks. Crochet now has a 2.20 ERA and 125 strikeouts through 16 starts, joining Pedro Martinez as the only Red Sox pitchers to achieve those marks at this point in a season. The win secured Boston's fourth straight series victory and improved their record to 10 wins in their last 13 games. Rookie Marcelo Mayer and Trevor Story supplied all of Boston's offense with home runs. Crochet's performance has silenced doubts about his frontline starter credentials, with analysts now considering him among MLB's true aces. Key bullpen contributions from Aroldis Chapman and Greg Weissert sealed the win as Boston prepares for a tough schedule against winning teams.
