Garrett Crochet delivered a stellar performance against the Yankees, pitching 8 1/3 innings and striking out Aaron Judge three times. However, in the ninth, Judge hit a game-tying home run with a 99 mph fastball, frustrating Crochet. Despite the setback, his catcher, Carlos Narvaez, later secured a walk-off single in the 10th, making it a memorable night for Boston. Although Crochet did not earn a win, his overall performance was praised, particularly given Judge's struggles against him this season.
Whether it be pitch selection or execution, tough way to end it. But overall, I felt really good tonight.
He's an incredible pitcher. That's why they traded for him. He works both sides of the plate [and] has overpowering stuff.
Crochet was awesome. He made a mistake a little bit. But that was a 100 mph fastball. That was impressive.
It was his first career walk-off hit, and he became the first rookie with one in the series rivalry since Josh Reddick in 2011.
