Red Sox Garrett Crochet Strikes Out 10 Seven-Inning Shutout vs Athletics

Garrett Crochet delivered a dominant pitching performance for the Red Sox in a 7-0 victory over the Athletics, striking out 10 batters over seven shutout innings while allowing only three hits and no walks. This outing marked a strong rebound from his previous poor start against Cleveland, where he allowed seven runs and four home runs. Crochet's control and strikeout ability were evident as he generated 21 swings and misses, successfully navigating a talented Athletics lineup and retiring the last eight batters he faced. His performance helped the Red Sox improve to 80-65, keeping them in a tight race for the American League East and the wild card spot. Offensively, Trevor Story and Carlos Narváez contributed home runs, providing early scoring support. The win demonstrated Crochet's resilience and reinforced his status as one of the best pitchers in baseball this season.
