Garrett Crochet made his anticipated debut as the Red Sox's ace on Opening Day, after impressive spring training results. Although he struggled with command early, leading to a high pitch count, Crochet managed to recover and keep the game competitive, allowing only two earned runs over five innings. His performance, described as a "grinder day," demonstrated his ability to adapt and trust his defense as the game progressed. Ultimately, Crochet's efforts helped secure a 5-2 victory against Texas, reflecting his potential impact on the team in the season ahead.
"I dug myself into a hole with pitch count early. Later on in the game, I started trusting the defense and trusting everybody other than myself."
"It was a grinder day from the start. I felt like I struggled with consistent execution, maybe took a few too many shots in the first couple innings trying to get swing and miss."
