Red Sox starter Garrett Crochet scattered four hits over seven innings and Trevor Story hit a blooper to break a sixth-inning tie.

With one on and two out in the seventh and his pitch count at 101, Crochet knew Luke Maile was likely his last batter. As the sold-out crowd stood to watch, the Sox ace fanned the Royals catcher on four pitches, and roared alongside the Fenway Faithful as he strode off the mound.
