The Red Sox bounced back from a series opening loss to the Dodgers but Garrett Crochet thinks media coverage of the game favored LA's stars.

It did not take long for Shohei Ohtani to greet the fans in Boston on Saturday. In fact, it was three pitchers until the game, and he took Garrett Crochet deep to put the Los Angeles Dodgers up 1-0 on the Boston Red Sox.

Sitting on a 1–1 count to lead off the contest against Garrett Crochet, Ohtani received a 97 mph fastball right down the middle from the Red Sox ace—and made him pay. The Dodgers star ripped the pitch to dead center field for his 38th home run of the season, giving Los Angeles a 1–0 lead.

It was October-like, high stakes baseball theater from start to finish at Fenway Park on Saturday night as the Red Sox and Dodgers battled it out in front of an electric, sold-out crowd.

Perhaps a decade or so from now, Garrett Crochet will be relying on smarts and guile like 18-year veteran Clayton Kershaw, the future Hall of Famer he matched up with for the first time on an electric Saturday night at Fenway Park.
