Red Sox’s Garrett Crochet Dominates Yankees, Eyes Cy Young
In a commanding performance on Saturday, Garrett Crochet led the Boston Red Sox to a decisive 12-1 victory over the New York Yankees, striking out 11 batters and allowing just one run over seven innings. His efforts contributed to a stellar season, marking over 200 strikeouts in only 26 appearances, a feat accomplished by just three other Red Sox pitchers in history: Chris Sale, Pedro Martinez, and Roger Clemens.
With a season ERA of 2.38 and 207 strikeouts, Crochet is firmly in the mix for the American League Cy Young Award. Despite the accolades, he is trying to focus on the team’s goals rather than individual achievements, stating, "Every time I’ve thought about it, I’ve had a real bad start to follow." His recent success comes on the heels of teammate Brayan Bello’s own quality start, showcasing a potent 1-2 punch in the rotation.
The Red Sox have now secured eight consecutive wins against the Yankees and aim for a four-game series sweep with Dustin May set to pitch on Sunday at 7:10 p.m.
