The Boston Red Sox have struggled to support Garrett Crochet, whom they acquired from the White Sox in a December trade, leading to a frustrating 3-2 loss against the Brewers despite Crochet’s strong performance of 6.2 innings with 11 strikeouts and a 2.03 ERA in May. The team’s poor hitting, evidenced by a .218 average and just 48 runs in his 12 appearances, has resulted in a disappointing 27-29 record, leaving them seven games behind the Yankees in the AL East. With Crochet pitching effectively, the Red Sox’s lack of offensive production during his starts hampers their chances of becoming contenders.
