Garrett Crochet recorded four strikeouts in his Red Sox spring training debut, leaving the mound happy with his start.
The start time for Monday’s spring training game between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox has been moved because of expected heavy rainfall, foreshadowing what the Tampa Bay Rays might have to deal with this year as they play a season outdoors.
Crochet allowed three hits and walked a batter, but limited the damage with his dominant fastball, striking out four.
The four rings belonged to longtime Red Sox security staffer Steve Blessing, who served as director of security for the team’s spring training facilities in Florida for 25 years.
The Boston Red Sox already have been tied to the biggest free agent in next year's class. The Toronto Blue Jays and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. were discussing a possible contract extension but set a deadline for the start of Spring Training.
