Red Sox hit with series-opening loss in return home after Brewers tag Kutter Crawford for six runs

“They're good hitters, they've got a good approach, they don't chase a whole lot, and make you get in the zone.” At the game's outset, the Sox defense masked some of Crawford's limitations. Aided by a double play in the first inning and a spectacular Superman diving catch by center fielder Ceddanne Rafaela on a liner into the gap in left-center in the second, the starter navigated two scoreless innings at the outset. “At this point, when it's off the bat and it's in the center field area, I think [Rafaela] always has a chance,” Crawford said.
