It’s been a crappy start to the weekend. The Yankees lost on Thursday because the pitching couldn’t hold it together, and lost last night because the offense couldn’t manage much of anything.

Garrett Crochet is in the midst of a dominant first season with Boston, pitching to a 2.43 ERA and 196 strikeouts in 159.1 innings — all of which rank third or better in the American League.
