Garrett Crochet Strikes Out 10 vs Dodgers

Well, what a trade pickup Garrick Crochet has been. Got him this off season. Leads the majors in strikeouts. He’s got a 219 ERA as he looks for an eighth consecutive win. If there’s been a time to get Crochet, it’s been the first couple innings. He sits down Will Smith for the first out of the night. The Red Sox thinking about ways they can help supplement him in the rotation going into the deadline. Andy Pah scorches a base hit to left field and the Dodgers all over Crochet. Freeman heads for third. Here’s the throw in time. Durant with an outfield assist. It’s going to be close. They’re going to want to look at it. I think the tag. They’re trying to decide the Dodgers right now whether or not to look at this replay. Looks like they’re going to challenge. Yeah, I’m telling you, the tag and the nonchalant. Watch the tag. See how it it just kind of misses him the first time. It looks to the umpire that he gets him, but I think he’s going to have to be safe. So, they will challenge as the rookie umpire James Jean said that he got him down there. After review, the call on the field is confirmed. The runner is out. Los Angeles out. [Applause] So they confirm the call and Freddy Freeman’s the second out of the inning as Duran recovers to get an outfield assist. And I think this was close when they first said it and I think that that’s the reason they didn’t overturn it. I don’t you got to have definitive and angle and that splitsecond decision to be an out but a big play nonetheless. All the wins basically coming on the road. Strikes out Ruiz his second of the game. his 167th this year to lead the majors. You got to be ready for the fast ball, but then you see this pitch pop out of his hand. Late break and one two from Crochet. Otani swings and misses. There it was. Got him with a high fast ball. Crochet bounces back from the two-run first with a scoreless second. taps this one back in front of the plate. Crochet’s only play is at first. Here he comes with a 2-2. It’s a fast ball and it’s by him for strike three. Strike out strands the man at third. Middle of the third at Fenway and try to hand the Tigers a sixth consecutive defeat. Swing and a miss from Rohawk. Strike out number five for Crochet as he tries to catch up to school. Ruiz on the ground right side. Gonzalez with a heck of a play to get the lead runner. Now the second baseman was up the middle. Well, this is a really, really good play. And he ranges over and gets that lead runner at second, which is always big to a pitcher or knowing that the tying run is not strikes him out on three pitches. Garrick Crochet’s sixth strike out of the game gets Otani and strands two, keeping Boston ahead. [Music] Two-2 to Smith. He swings and misses. He’s down on strikes for the second time in this game when they traded for him. Signed him to the long-term extension. Strikes out Freddy Freeman. That’s eight for the game for Crochet. Well, this is what I was talking about. If he gets ahead of you, he makes some of the greatest hitters look really, really bad when he gets that two strike count on you. Bahz one for two, close to 500 over the last week. There goes Taskcar Hernandez. Throw down from Narvz. Best in the business at doing that. Carlos Narvz leading the majors in caught stealing. One of the way many ways he’s shining as a rookie in Boston. He cuts down Hernandez. We’re halfway home at Fenway Park and the Red Sox lead the Dodgers by a run. Here Crochet crossing 90 pitches, continuing to rack up the strikeouts though. That is his ninth of the ball game. One away in the six. Well, he made an adjustment coming out this inning. Pounding away, getting strikes early. And that is the difference. I’m telling you, if he gets that side of the plate, they have no chance. And then he could just throw the fast ball up out over the plate. But he got the first two strikes and then put him away with the fast. Back home with a one-two. Edmonds swings and misses for strike three. He ended double digits goes Crochet. Hoping to go to 12 and four overall tonight. Ruiz with a little pop to second base and Ronda Gonzalez has it. That’s the inning. Crochet goes six. He strikes out 10. He’s in position to get his eighth straight win. [Music]
