Garrett Crochet struck out 10 over seven sharp innings while leading the Boston Red Sox to a 7-0 victory over the Athletics on Monday night at West Sacramento, Calif.

Crochet (15-5) allowed three hits and didn't issue a walk before leaving after 101 pitches. It was a strong bounce-back effort after he served up four homers and allowed a season-worst seven runs against the Cleveland Guardians in his last start.

Trevor Story and Carlos Narvaez each had a solo homer among two hits as Boston (80-65) won its second straight following three consecutive losses.
