NEW YORK — Red Sox head of team travel Mark Cacciatore sent a group text to the players telling them that manager Alex Cora was OK with casual clothes on the flight to the Wild Card Series. Ace Garrett Crochet had other ideas.
One night after leaving his starter in for 117 pitches, Red Sox manager Alex Cora pulled his Game 2 starter in the third inning. Cora lifted Brayan Bello early after letting his ace Garrett Crochet go deep in Game 1.
Cora pulled all the right moves in Game 1 in the Bronx, and outdueled his New York counterpart, Aaron Boone, once more.
