Garrett Crochet showcased his value as the ace of the Boston Red Sox by delivering a stellar performance against the Chicago White Sox, where he carried a no-hitter into the eighth inning. His dominance led to a 3-1 victory, allowing only one hit and striking out 11 batters. This win was crucial as it stopped the Red Sox's losing streak and came after disappointing losses earlier in the series. Trevor Story remarked on Crochet's importance as a reliable pitcher and 'stopper' for the team in times of need.
That's why he is who he is. And we needed it in the worst way. He stepped up and delivered for us. We needed a stopper and that's what he is.
Crochet admitted that he was aware of his no-hitter from the first inning on. It surely didn't impact him on the mound, though.
It was the best showing from Crochet so far in a Red Sox uniform, and the second time in four starts he worked into the eighth inning.
Crochet's dominance helped the Red Sox end a disappointing series against the White Sox - Boston lost the first two games of the set - on a good note.
