MINNEAPOLIS — Boston Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet was battered by the Minnesota Twins for 11 runs — 10 earned — and nine hits in 1⅔ innings Monday night.
Crochet, a two-time All-Star who finished second in American League Cy Young Award voting last season, became the first Red Sox pitcher to allow 10 runs in fewer than two innings.
The 26-year-old left-hander gave up four runs, three earned, in a 31-pitch first inning. Minnesota scored seven more in the second before Crochet was removed with two outs and Boston trailing 11-0.
Crochet allowed a total of 10 earned runs during his first seven starts of the season — a number he eclipsed in just Monday night’s game, according to ESPN Research.
Victor Caratini hit his first home run for the Twins in the second, a three-run drive off the facing of the third deck in left field. Light-hitting infielder Ryan Kreidler ended Crochet’s night with his third career home run, a solo shot into the second deck in left.
The Twins went on to win 13-6.
Crochet walked three, hit a batter with a pitch and failed to record a strikeout for the first time in 68 career starts. His season ERA climbed to 7.58 after he entered 2-1 with a 3.12 ERA through three starts.
