The Red Sox play their sixth game of the season this afternoon. They have just one win and 11 total runs to show for it. By the way, the Red Sox are now just 4-11 in March over the last four years and 2-8 over the last two years.
But March is over! Now, Garrett Crochet, who struck out eight in his Opening Day victory, takes the mound to save Boston from a sweep in Houston. The Astros made him human last August when they chased the Cy Young runner-up after four innings and five earned runs.
It’s not
exactly a juggernaut to support him in Alex Cora’s lineup, especially with Roman Anthony out of the lineup. Here’s who the Red Sox will send to the plate in the series finale. Connor Wong also gets the start after a late mystery scratch for Carlos Narvaez.
On the other side, the Astros hung up 17 runs in the first two games. Here’s Houston’s lineup for the finale with Mike Burrows on the mound at Daikin Park.
