Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora was thrilled with ace pitcher Garrett Crochet’s outstanding performance in the series finale against the Chicago White Sox. Despite Crochet taking a no-hitter into the eighth inning, he ultimately gave up a single to break it up. The young star struck out 11 and threw 96 pitches in his impressive outing. For Cora, the focus was on avoiding a sweep rather than achieving a historic no-hitter. With the Red Sox riding high after Crochet’s dominant performance, they look to carry momentum into Monday’s series opener against Tampa Bay.
