The Texas Rangers crushed four home runs off Kutter Crawford on Friday night, making the Boston Red Sox righty the first pitcher in MLB history to allow 12 home runs in three games.
The Boston Red Sox cruised to a comfortable road win over the Texas Rangers on Friday, but their starting pitcher didn't exactly have a great night.
Shortstop Corey Seager went deep off Crawford in the first inning, then Leody Taveras and Seager added additional solo homers in the third. In the sixth inning, with the Red Sox leading 9-3, Crawford gave up a two-run blast to Marcus Semien and got pulled two batters later. Over his last three starts, Crawford has now allowed 12 home runs, setting a new MLB record. Only four pitchers in the modern era had ever allowed 11 home runs in a three-game span: Aaron Harang in 2004, Jose Lima in 2000, Warren Spahn in 1958 and Lynn Nelson in 1939.Earning the win amid the dud also helped Crawford make history, as he became just the seventh Red Sox pitcher ever to get credit for a win despite allowing four home runs.
