Garrett Crochet is in the midst of a dominant first season with Boston, pitching to a 2.43 ERA and 196 strikeouts in 159.1 innings — all of which rank third or better in the American League.

Garrett Crochet struck out 11 in seven innings, Trevor Story homered and drove in three runs, and the Boston Red Sox beat the New York Yankees 12-1 on Saturday.
