All-Star Garrett Crochet pitched a three-hitter with nine strikeouts for his first career shutout and complete game, leading the Boston Red Sox past the Tampa Bay Rays 1-0 on Saturday for their ninth straight victory.

Stuck in a professional purgatory, Tanner Houck’s view is emphatic: He is a starting pitcher.

The Boston Red Sox have had their fair share of stars since they became a team in 1901. So building an all-time team probably was a difficult task.

This 21-year-old phenom has achieved what few have in the storied history of the Red Sox ... to legends like Ted Williams is no coincidence. Williams, known as "The Greatest Hitter Who Ever Lived," left an indelible legacy in Boston.

Unfortunately, Boston faces the rather enigmatic Shane Baz today, who has an ERA under three against the Red Sox in four career starts. But, they’ll still be on the search for their ninth straight win, and Ted Williams’ cryonically frozen head will be proudly watching on from the desert of Arizona.

The Red Sox won their 8th game in a row Friday night on a walk-off Green Monster home run by the unstoppable Ceddanne Rafaela.
