Garrett Crochet reminded everyone why he’s the ace Boston traded big for, weaving his magic over seven innings of smoke-and-mirrors-free pitching. No walks, just 10 whiffs, three hits allowed—he was surgical. He’s now at a league-best 15 wins, and tonight’s performance came on five days’ rest, a rhythm that might just line him up perfectly for that looming Wild Card push.

Meanwhile, the A’s looked anything but ready for prime time in front of a Sacramento crowd primed for excitement. Luis Morales showed early promise, but Trevor Story's first-inning home run cracked open the night’s script. Boston’s bats never let off the gas—Narváez clobbered another home run, and players like Jarren Duran, Alex Bregman, and Masataka Yoshida each added multi-hit nights to turn the game into a 7–0 romp. Relief pitchers for the A’s couldn’t stem the tide, while Boston’s bullpen just sealed the shutout in a tidy two-hour, 19-minute romp.
