Can the Reds Overcome Crochet’s Dominance or Are They Doomed Before the First Pitch?

The Red Sox are surprisingly struggling this season. After trying to revamp the roster a bit in the offseason, the club hasn’t really found their footing. Boston is three games under .500 for the year, and they have traded away arguably their best player. Sure, there were issues with the off-field stuff and Rafael Devers, but to see him shipped away was still somewhat surprising. History indicated it was likely he was going to move, but he was still productive for the team. Today they see their previously trade acquired player, Garrett Crochet, taking the mound. Crochet is 7-4 with a 2.06 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP for the season. This month he has made five starts, and four of them saw him allow one or fewer earned runs. The other was a road loss to the Yankees where he allowed five earned runs in six innings, but the Red Sox still won the game. Reds hitters haven’t seen much of him, and have only hit one double in ten at-bats.
