Crochet retired the first 10 Royals batters before Bobby Witt Jr. tripled in the fourth and scored on Maikel Garcia’s double. The Red Sox ace allowed just one more hit before Garcia walked to lead off the seventh and then scored on Randal Grichuk’s double off the tip of left fielder Duran’s glove to make it 3-2.

Garrett Crochet couldn't wait to take the mound Tuesday night at Fenway Park, and he delivered another ace performance for the Boston Red Sox.

The red-hot Red Sox rolled to their seventh straight win and ninth in their last 10, riding seven strong innings from Crochet and a batch of timely hits to a 6-2 victory.
