The Red Sox have a rotation with a clear ace and no one who has performed remotely to the level of a No. 2 (or even No. 3) starter.

Garrett Crochet has done more than his part for the Red Sox. The rest of the rotation understands they have to contribute, too.

Crochet got credit for the win, improving to 6-4 with a 2.35 ERA, 1.068 WHIP, 11.3 strikeouts per nine innings and a 2.6 WAR.Crochet, 25, has accumulated 32 strikeouts in 19.2 innings over his last three starts.
