6 Aug
Summary
- Garrett Crochet pitches 7 strong innings, wins 9th straight decision
- Trevor Story drives in 3 runs, including go-ahead hit in 6th inning
- Red Sox now 13 games above .500 for the first time since 2021
On August 6th, 2025, the Boston Red Sox continued their hot streak, defeating the Kansas City Royals 6-2 to extend their winning run to seven games. Pitcher Garrett Crochet was the star of the night, scattering just four hits over seven innings and striking out eight batters to earn his ninth consecutive decision.
The game was tied 1-1 in the sixth inning when the Red Sox took the lead for good. After a walk to Alex Bregman, Trevor Story lofted a blooper into center field to drive in the go-ahead run. The Red Sox then broke the game open in the seventh, loading the bases and scoring three runs to take a 6-2 advantage.
Crochet was dominant throughout, retiring the first 10 Royals batters before giving up a triple and a double in the fourth inning. He settled down after that, striking out the side in the sixth to preserve the lead. Story added an RBI single in the seventh to provide some insurance.
The win puts the Red Sox 13 games above .500 for the first time since the end of the 2021 season, a testament to their recent hot streak. They'll look to complete the series sweep against the Royals on Wednesday, with trade deadline acquisition Dustin May making his Red Sox debut.
