Garrett Crochet News: Fans eight in 13th win

Crochet (13-4) picked up the win in Tuesday's 6-2 victory over the Royals, giving up two runs on four hits and a walk over seven innings. He struck out eight.

The southpaw racked up 34 called or swinging strikes among his 105 pitches (66 total strikes) as he delivered his fourth straight quality start and 15th of the season.
