To be fair to Skubal, only one run allowed was earned. JJ Bleday doubled to center in the sixth, and advanced to third on the throw in, only to score on a Jacob Wilson groundout. Colby Thomas led off the bottom of the seventh with a home run, then Darell Hernaiz reached on a play that could have been an error, but was ultimately ruled a hit.

Shea Langeliers hit a grand slam off left-hander Tarik Skubal in the seventh inning, leading to an 8-3 loss to the Athletics.

In his first season with the Red Sox, Crochet has the most wins and strikeouts in the AL, and is 2.43 ERA is just behind Skubal's at 2.42.
