Overview
- Garrett Crochet allowed 11 runs in 1 2/3 innings at Target Field in the worst start of his major-league career.
- Minnesota scored 11 in the second inning, capped by Victor Caratini's three-run homer and a Ryan Kreidler solo shot.
- The left-hander threw 55 pitches with only 30 strikes and finished without a strikeout.
- He gave up nine hits and 10 earned runs, his first time allowing more than seven earned and a match of his career high in hits allowed.
- The rough outing halted a recent rotation surge for Boston, which had posted a 1.52 ERA in its last turn, and stood in stark contrast to Crochet's 20-6, 2.63 ERA line in his first 35 Red Sox starts.
