Crochet Day: (4-2).  Garrett Crochet made his 7th start of the season and his 2nd against the Blue Jays in the series opener Tuesday night.  Crochet took advantage of the early run support, and he picked up his 3rd win with 7 Innings of 2-run baseball. Crochet allowed a 2-out, 2-run Home Run to Vladimir Guerrero in the Bottom of the 3rd Inning and that was it. He walked 3 and struck out 6.  The 7 runs scored by the Red Sox in the series opener are the most runs scored in a Crochet start this season.  The Red Sox improved to 5-2 in Crochet's 1st 7 outings of the season with the win over the Blue Jays.
