US EditionRed Sox ace Garrett Crochet is 'fine' after line drive grazes his nose and glove
- Boston Red Sox ace pitcher Garrett Crochet was grazed on the nose and glove by a line drive during Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Twins.
- The incident occurred in the fourth inning when a liner from Twins shortstop Carlos Correa skimmed Crochet’s glove and nose, narrowly missing a direct hit.
- After the play, Red Sox manager Alex Cora and a trainer attended Crochet, who experienced numbness and a small nose bleed but continued pitching until being pulled after five innings.
- Crochet threw 89 pitches, allowed one run and four hits, struck out six batters, and acknowledged his fastball velocity was down a few mph, which he attributed to early-season mechanics work.
- Despite the close call and diminished velocity, Crochet and Cora expressed no major concern, while Boston lost 5-4 to the Twins, falling back to a.500 record.
