Impact Crawford had given up just one home run and one run total across his three July starts heading into Sunday's outing but struggled to keep the ball in the yard in this one. He was given an early 2-0 lead, which disappeared by the third inning. He served up five solo home runs before all was said and done and a sixth run was scored off an RBI-double by Gavin Lux in the opening frame. His two strikeouts were also a season low, as he registered nine whiffs on 77 pitches. Sunday was certainly an outing to forget for the 28-year-old, though he's still been one of the better pitchers in the Red Sox rotation for much of the year. Crawford now owns a 3.37 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 112:29 K:BB in 117.2 innings and will look to bounce back in his next start, which will come against the Yankees over the weekend.
