Garrett Crochet faced a challenging outing against the Twins, allowing one run on four hits over five innings with six strikeouts, yet his performance was overshadowed by unusual events. He surrendered a leadoff home run to Byron Buxton and was struck in the nose by a line drive from Carlos Correa. Despite a drop in fastball velocity, Crochet demonstrated resilience and managed to pitch effectively, but he took a no-decision as the Red Sox bullpen faltered, leading to a 5-4 loss. With a 2.02 ERA this season, Crochet's struggles raise questions about his mechanics and stamina as he navigates the early part of the season.
