WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Instant reactions as the Red Sox (80-65) make their Sacramento debut in style, riding a stellar Garrett Crochet start to a 7-0 win over the Athletics at Sutter Health Park:

1) Crochet rebounded more than nicely from a weird start against the Guardians in which he allowed four homers last week . Boston’s ace was dominant from the jump and struck out 10 batters in seven shutout innings against an Athletics team that can hit better than its record would suggest. The lefty allowed three hits (two singles and a double) and didn’t walk a batter for the third straight start.

Crochet has had two stinkers since August 1 (against Houston and Cleveland) but has still been very good most starts. The other eight starts in his last 10 have all been quality starts.
