Garrett Crochet almost pitched a no-hitter against the Chicago White Sox but was thwarted by Chase Meidroth, a player traded to Chicago from Boston to acquire Crochet. The moment was particularly ironic, as Meidroth debuted against the team that drafted him. Crochet finished the game after 7.1 innings, allowing only one hit and striking out 11. Red Sox manager Alex Cora expressed relief at Meidroth's hit, which allowed Crochet to exit gracefully. Crochet's consistent performance has been vital for the Red Sox in a challenging season.
"I thought that was pretty funny, too. I don't really have anything to say about it. He put a good swing on the ball."
"Honestly, I've never been so happy for the opponent to get a hit. Chase got a hit and I was like, 'OK, we can move on.'"
"Today's a big day for us to get a (win) and move on. He was really good - really good. The stuff, halfway through, kind of took off."
"It happened early in the season along the losing streak, and he pitched a great game, and we played better after that."
