Monday night in Minneapolis was one for the record books, and unfortunately for Boston Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet, he was on the wrong side of history. The Twins' offense erupted, hammering the two-time All-Star for a staggering 11 runs—10 earned—on nine hits in just 1 2/3 innings of work.

This wasn't just a bad outing; it was a historic collapse. Crochet, who finished as the runner-up for the AL Cy Young Award last season, became the first Red Sox pitcher ever to surrender 10 runs in less than two innings. The night started poorly and spiraled from there, with the Twins plating four runs in a 31-pitch first inning before unleashing a seven-run barrage in the second.

The Minnesota bats were relentless. Victor Caratini launched a three-run homer deep to left field, and even light-hitting infielder Ryan Kreidler got in on the action, ending Crochet's miserable night with a solo shot. By the time Crochet was pulled with two outs in the second, he had walked three, hit a batter, and—in a shocking first for his 68 career starts—failed to record a single strikeout.

For a pitcher of Crochet's caliber, the numbers are jarring. His season ERA skyrocketed from a respectable 3.12 to 7.58 in one brutal evening, a stark reminder of how quickly fortunes can change in the major leagues. It was a performance that will be talked about for all the wrong reasons, a true anomaly for one of the game's premier left-handed arms.
