"The Red Sox entered the night 1.5 games up in the Wild Card standings and found themselves down 1.0 runs in the middle innings... and they recovered, thanks to a Jarren Duran homer that put them up 4-3 and set them on the path to victory. Once they hit the eighth inning, the dam broke - seven runs! - and shit was no longer close, but then it was, but then it was over, and the Sox won. And there was much rejoicing."
"All he did was win the game for them, which TBH seems important and to which we'll get below. That he added an insurance hit later on was just a cherry on top. It wasn't the greatest Crochet day, but it wasn't the worst, and we can ultimately live with 3 runs over 6 innings if we're any good on offense. Which, because of the guys above and below, we were."
"He gave up a grand slam in the ninth inning to make it 11-7. He then gave up two singles. Then he struck Josh Lowe to end it. It was not fun in the least. 0-5 with 2Ks is no way to go thru life, son, even if you did reach on an error once the game was out of reach. Until Chris touched it."
The Red Sox entered the night 1.5 games up in the Wild Card standings and trailed by one run in the middle innings before Jarren Duran hit a go-ahead home run to make it 4-3. The eighth inning produced a seven-run outburst that put the game largely out of reach, though late action made the score tense again before the Sox closed it out. Crochet allowed three runs over six innings, while the bullpen surrendered a grand slam in the ninth but ultimately recorded the final out on a strikeout of Josh Lowe. The win moves the team closer to the playoffs.
