NEW YORK — The Yankees figured they’d have their hands full Saturday night facing new Red Sox new ace Garrett Crochet. The left-hander was good last season pitching for the 121-loss White Sox and mostly has been sensational since his winter trade to Beantown.

Though Boston starter Garrett Crochet yielded the most runs in any start this year, the Red Sox found a way to victory Saturday.

The Red Sox have four titles since 2004 and the Yankees one. By that measure, Boston has been the better franchise. But in 2025 the old rivals exist in vastly different worlds.
