Saturday’s 12-1 win over the New York Yankees was the Boston Red Sox’ third straight over their hated rivals. It also solidified their hold on the top AL Wild Card spot, as Boston now holds a game and a half advantage over New York. Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet surpassed 200 strikeouts on the season in a strong seven-inning start. Crochet spoke to the media after the victory about the Yankees home crowd. According to MLB.com’s Ian Browne, the sounds of silence stood out in the matchup.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, it feels good,\u201d said Crochet to Browne postgame. \u201cIt’s kind of eerie in a way, but we\u2019re playing really good ball right now. When you do that, that tends to happen on the road. So that’s cool.\u201d<\/p>\n

Crochet struck out 11 batters en route to passing the 200-strikeout threshold. He only allowed one earned run on five hits and a walk, improving his season record to 14-5. The Red Sox lineup also came to life, scoring those 12 runs on 17 hits and five walks. Shortstop Trevor Story and catcher Carlos Narv\u00e1ez hit home runs in the win as well. If Boston can finish off the sweep of New York on Sunday, they will be two and a half games clear at the top of the Wild Card standings.<\/p>\n

The Red Sox have won each matchup of this series with different types of offensive output. Thursday’s 6-3 win was a steady one for the lineup. Friday’s 1-0 win showed that they could eke out a tough win. On Saturday, the bats of Narv\u00e1ez, Story, right fielder Roman Anthony and recently-acquired first baseman Nathaniel Lowe led the way. Narv\u00e1ez spoke about Crochet’s mindset during the win to Browne.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why we call him Beast,\u201d Narv\u00e1ez commented after the win. \u201cWe talked about this game three or four days ago. He\u2019s always prepared, and you see the big dominance today, and I\u2019m proud of him.\u201d<\/p>\n

If Crochet continues to embody this \u201cBeast\u201d persona, then he could be a very tough matchup in the postseason. The Red Sox are heating up at the right time of the season. A sweep of the Yankees would help further fuel their post for a return to October. Can Crochet, Narv\u00e1ez and their teammates finish the job under the lights of Sunday Night Baseball?<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
