Generation K(utter)
Cooper Criswell and the bullpen set the bar high for Kutter Crawford with the shutout last night. After a rough for 2024 start last week Crawford is looking to bounce back against an offense that hasn’t had a 30 home run hitter since 2007.
Masataka Yoshida hit the IL today.
The Red Sox acquired another first basemen, Dom Smith, to replace/supplement injured first basemen Garrett Cooper.
They also acquired a shortstop, Zach Short.
After their ace failed to pitch like one in the first game, the San Francisco Giants are turning to…an opener? Erik Miller has appeared in 13 games this season, all out of the bullpen. And all for exactly 1 inning. None even as an opener. He has 17 strikeouts, 6 walks, and 8 runs in that time.
First pitch is at 7:10 PM ET on WEEI and NESN.
