Today\u2019s game was wonky. There wasn\u2019t a lopsided score, or any insane errors, or Crochet giving up a grand slam to Big Dumper like Buehler did. The Red Sox won…on three hits. A Marcelo Mayer solo shot, a Trevor Story two-run blast (the second run due to a Marcelo Mayer walk), and a Connor Wong single (Connor Wong!?) were all the offense put up today. But it was enough to win the game, as Crochet held the Mariners to one run and the bullpen didn\u2019t allow any more damage through their three innings of work. It\u2019s the Red Sox\u2019s fourth series win in a row, and it puts the team up 2 games over .500. The vibes are both very different and eerily the same as they were a month ago. You\u2019ve got a winning ball club now, but you\u2019re without Devers, so the fanbase remains unhappy. Still, you always take the wins when and where you can get them.<\/p>\n
Five Studs (Again):<\/strong><\/h2>\nGarrett Crochet:<\/strong>\u00a0Oinked up the joint and shoved again. His box score today was 6 IP, 6 hits, 1 run (which was earned), no walks, and 8 strikeouts. That one run was his own doing, on a wild pitch that brought Randy Arozarena home from third; it easily could\u2019ve been another scoreless performance otherwise. I\u2019m happy that he frequently pitches on Wednesdays now so I can keep adding him to my Stud List.<\/p>\nMarcelo Mayer:<\/strong>\u00a0Contributed one of the Sox\u2019s 3 runs with his fourth home run of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n
