BOSTON — Through four starts in which he posted a 1.13 ERA, Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet repeatedly lamented how he didn’t feel like he had yet pitched up to his full potential. On Thursday, after scuffling for the first time in a Red Sox uniform, he conceded that his mindset had been the wrong one.
An introspective Crochet, who issued a career-high five walks and took his first loss in a Red Sox uniform in a 4-3 defeat at the hands of the Mariners, said he should have stuck what had been working by pitching aggressively in his sixth start of 2025.
