  09/23/2024 • By RotoWire

  Crawford (9-15) earned the win in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Twins. He allowed three runs on eight hits and no walks while striking out seven over 7.2 innings. Sunday's nightcap started out as a pitchers' duel, as the game remained scoreless until Crawford gave up a pair of runs during the top of the fifth inning. Minnesota's offense came alive in the bottom of the frame and helped the right-hander break a run of six consecutive losses. Crawford recorded an out in the eighth inning for the first time this season, though he was unable to complete the frame and was tagged for another run. The 28-year-old will carry a 4.17 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 169:47 K:BB across 179.1 innings into his final start of the regular season this weekend versus Tampa Bay.

  09/16/2024 • By RotoWire

  Crawford (8-15) was saddled with the loss Sunday, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks over 4.1 innings against the Yankees. He struck out seven. Crawford has now lost six consecutive starts, despite Sunday representing the first time within that span that he's allowed more than three runs or failed to toss at least five innings. The Yankees got to him for a single run in the second, then tallied three additional runs in the third thanks to homers by Gleyber Torres and Aaron Judge. Crawford has now been touched up for 33 home runs across 31 starts and 171.2 innings this season. He'll look to keep the ball in the yard during his next start, scheduled to take place at home against the Twins.

• Red Sox's Kutter Crawford: Hangs on for eighth win

  08/14/2024 • By RotoWire

  Crawford (8-9) picked up the win Tuesday, giving up four runs on three hits and a walk over 5.1 innings in a 9-4 victory over the Rangers. He struck out four. The right-hander was actually perfect through five innings as he retired the first 16 batters he faced, but the wheels came off quickly for Crawford in the sixth as he threatened to squander a 6-0 lead. The Boston bullpen was able to put out the fire, however. Crawford has been tagged for at least four runs in five straight starts since the All-Star break, stumbling to a 9.75 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 19:6 K:BB through 24 innings over that stretch while serving up an incredible 13 homers. The fact that he was able to keep the ball in the yard Tuesday offers some hope he could be turning things around, but he'll still be a risky play in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road this weekend in Baltimore.
