NextImg:Heroes, zeros of Game 1: Garrett Crochet’s 117-pitch gem came with Red Sox exclamation point

Heroes and zeros from the Yankees’ disappointing, 3-1, Game 1 loss to the Red Sox in their wild-card series in The Bronx on Tuesday.

Which stat is more startling: Garrett Crochet throwing 117 pitches or the Red Sox star throwing his fastest pitch of the night and tied for his fastest of the season — 100.2 mph — on that 117th pitch? Crochet was everything Boston hoped for in silencing the high-powered Yankees lineup in 7 ²/₃ innings in which he struck out 11.

Entering with a 1-0 edge in the seventh inning of a well-pitched game, Luke Weaver lost the lead, momentum and the home crowd within an eyeblink.

Taking the ball from Crochet, Aroldis Chapman, the former Yankees flamethrower, escaped the eighth and a bases-loaded jam in the ninth.
