All-Star Garrett Crochet pitched a three-hitter with nine strikeouts for his first career shutout and complete game, leading the Boston Red Sox past the Tampa Bay Rays 1-0 for their ninth straight vic

Garrett Crochet finished off the first half of 2025 with a bang: a complete game shutout to extend the Red Sox' win streak to nine games.

Boston will turn to Brayan Bello — who also authored a complete game last time out — to try to send the Sox into the All-Star break on a 10-game winning streak with a win over the Rays Sunday. The Rays will counter with righthander Ryan Pepiot as the visitors look to avoid a sweep at Fenway.

Crochet revealed Friday afternoon that he won’t pitch in the 2025 MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday. He’ll go to Atlanta with teammates Aroldis Chapman and Alex Bregman, but Crochet will be just a spectator for his second Midsummer Classic.

In honor of a 10 game winning streak heading into the All Star Break, here’s 10 notes about today’s game and the streak as a whole: 1. The last time the Red Sox had a 10 game winning streak was July 2-12 2018.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman returned to the lineup on Friday, albeit far from full strength. Initially projected to miss 12 weeks with a right quad injury, Bregman instead only needed seven weeks.
