"The Red Sox and Tampa Bay found themselves in a battle at the plate in the first half. The Rays quickly got on the board to take a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning, but Boston responded in the top of the second with a RBI hit of its own to tie. In the second frame, Rays shortstop Carson Williams put Tampa Bay back on top with a solo home run off Crochet in the home-half of the second inning."
"Crochet eventually settled down and ultimately tossed six innings of work. He finished the night allowing four hits, three runs and walks each, and struck out nine batters on 98 pitches. It's a fine stat line for most MLB pitchers, but Friday's start wasn't up to the standard Crochet has set for himself in his first season with the Red Sox."
Jarren Duran hit a go-ahead two-run home run in the seventh inning and Boston added a seven-run eighth to beat Tampa Bay 11-7. The Red Sox scored double-digit runs for the first time since Sept. 5 and eliminated the Rays from playoff contention. Garrett Crochet allowed three runs over six innings with nine strikeouts on 98 pitches. Tampa Bay took multiple early leads on solo homers by Carson Williams and Yandy Díaz, while Alex Bregman tied the game with a third-inning pull shot. Boston's pitching remained shaky despite the offensive outburst.
