Garrett Crochet Shuts Out the Athletics
Garrett Crochet was sharp on Monday night in Sacramento, carrying his team to a comfortable 7-0 win to start their series against the Athletics. The ace allowed just three hits and no walks in seven shutout innings while racking up 10 strikeouts. He improved to 15-5 with a 2.57 ERA and 2.81FIP in his 29 starts, and he has already logged a career-high 185 1/3 innings. He moved back to the top of the major league leaderboard with 228 strikeouts, although Tarik Skubal has 222 strikeouts and pitches on Friday. If Skubal moves back in front, Crochet should have a chance to re-take the lead in his next start Sunday against the Yankees. Crochet has been outstanding in his first season in Boston and is a strong candidate for the AL Cy Young. He's been one of the top arms in all of fantasy baseball this year and will look to finish his great season while helping his team back to the postseason.
