Though his first start against New York was “ugly,” in his words, Crochet dominated the Yankees when they visited Boston in mid-June; he nearly pitched a complete-game shutout, striking out Aaron Judge three times before Judge crushed a ninth-inning solo homer.

Garrett Crochet struck out 11 in seven innings and the Boston Red Sox easily extended their winning streak over the host New York Yankees to eight games in a 12-1 rout on Saturday afternoon.

Garrett Crochet is in the midst of a dominant first season with Boston, pitching to a 2.43 ERA and 196 strikeouts in 159.1 innings — all of which rank third or better in the American League.
