All-Star Garrett Crochet pitched a three-hitter with nine strikeouts for his first career shutout and complete game, leading the Boston Red Sox past the Tampa Bay Rays 1-0 for their ninth straight victory.

In Crochet's first complete game of any sort, he allowed three hits, all singles, and struck out nine while not allowing a walk. “It’s incredibly satisfying,” he said.

Crochet cited preparing for the second half of the season as a reason why he’s sitting out this year’s ASG. The post Red Sox’ Garrett Crochet explains decision not to pitch in 2025 All-Star Game appeared first on Boston.
