""I'm just trying to treat it like it's another start," said Red Sox Pitcher Garrett Crochet. "You know I've pitched here twice this year, faced this lineup four times. I don't want to say.. It's comfortable because it's a tough opposing lineup, but there is a sense of comfort there, just knowing the faces I'm going to be up against.""
""Having that guy at the top of the rotation just sets the tempo for the rest of the week, and that's what he does," said Red Sox Manager Alex Cora. "He was the guy who continued the winning streak, and he stopped the losing streak.""
Red Sox begin a best-of-three playoff series at Yankee Stadium with Garrett Crochet starting game one. Lucas Giolito is out with an elbow injury and is seeing a doctor; Brayan Bello will start game two. Crochet leads the league in strikeouts and has faced the Yankees lineup multiple times this season, providing familiarity. Crochet struck out Aaron Judge 10 of 13 times this year while Judge hit two home runs. Roman Anthony and Marcelo Mayer are assigned to Fort Myers.
