Garrett Crochet tosses a SHUTOUT (3 hits, no walks, and 9 STRIKEOUTS)!
Garrick Rochet nine and four 239 RA facing Tampa Bay for the first time this season in there for strike three. Diaz caught looking. First game in the book for Crochet today. Hassan Kim and a two pitch. Down he goes. Backto back sweepers for the strikeouts. Fast ball gets by him at 98. He strikes out. You won’t be seeing that in home run derby. Third K in the book for Crochet. Crochet’s ahead 0 and2 on the eight hitter. He winds and he deals and he strikes him out. High heat at 97 from Crochet. He struck out four out of the first eight. And there’s one down in the third. Swing and a miss 97 to put him away. Once again, they go in order. Here’s Kim. He’s 0 for two with a strike out and a tapper to second. Rocher can still get out of it with a double play, but the bunt’s going to be dropped down. Here comes the run. Throw to the plate. The tag out and home. Got him. Walls cut down. Toro came in and made a terrific play. And Avayz with the tag. Fast ball. 99 to strike him out. Something extra for the All-Star. And there it is in there for strike three. 98 pours in the heater. He strikes out two more here in the seventh. One, two. swinging Adams to put him away with that nasty sweeper. That has been such a filthy pitch. You know, when you have the good fast ball, the swing and miss fast ball that Garrett has here today, you have to respect it. Makes you uncomfortable as a hitter, which just opens the door for the slow little sweeper that you can’t lay off in there. Strike three right on the edge. Number nine. Nineks in the book for the big lefty. Crowd behind him. the O2 and a chopper to Story and on target. What a performance by Garrick Crochet. That’s an allstar effort. He gets him one, two, three again here in the eighth. The Garrett Crochet is 52nd career start today. He’s never pitched a complete game at the big league level. He is coming out for the ninth with the Red Sox leading one to nothing. 93 pitches. This is his inning. Diaz the leadoff man and strike one. Yanni with a base hit in three trips. He’s one for three, a single in the sixth. [Music] I am surprised that Chapman’s not up. He’s not even up throwing. I thought maybe you go to the ninth, go hit it a hitter. It looks like it’s his 1-1. Right back to him. He steadies 11. The crowd loves the decision. Just loved it. He got a giant ovation when he came out to begin his warm-up tosses as Alice Corus sent him back out for the ninth. Well, that’s a big first one. You know, they got the kid Simpson on on the bench. minute you get a base runner, they want the base dealer in there. So, but Yandi Diaz, that’s the big out. Kim, the batter will look at a ball. He’s gone 0 for three in this one. They tried to safety squeeze last time he was up, but the runner was out at home. Red Sox made a terrific defensive play. Both sides have played great defense today. Narvay with the tag on a Toro throw from first. Here’s the two- swinging butt. Narvay scoops and gets it. Two down. Take that all day. Little excuse me swing. Two. Hops out, gets the out. They’re on their feet here at Fenway. That’s how last night ended. And they’re up again here on a Saturday evening. Megan Leader for three. Lined into right. Abrau there. Ball game. Red Sox win it nine in a row. One to nothing today. Knocking off Tampa Bay. Exactly 100 pitches for the Allstar left-hander. He goes all the way. The first time in his career, he tosses a complete game.
