Crawford (8-13) took the loss Tuesday, giving up two runs on one hit and two walks over six innings as the Red Sox were downed 7-2 by the Mets. He struck out eight.

The right-hander made only one real mistake, but Francisco Lindor drove it deep to right field for a two-run homer in the third inning, and Boston never recovered. Crawford has lost four straight trips to the mound, but the fault lies mainly with the Red Sox offense -- he's posted a 3.52 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 18:7 K:BB in 23 innings over that stretch. Tuesday's quality start was his second straight and 13th of the year. Crawford will try to get back in the win column in his next outing, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Orioles.
