It's April 2nd.

This is Boston Red Sox News today, AI-powered stories from Inside Your Team.

The Boston Red Sox just dropped a tough 6-4 decision to the Houston Astros, stretching

their skid to 5-stray losses before heading home.

They desperately needed this win in the series finale, leaning on Ace Garrett Crochet,

but he couldn't deliver, giving up 5 runs over 5 innings, on 6 hits with 7 strikeouts.

Austin grabbed a quick 1-nothing lead in the first, on a Wilson Contreras RBI single,

but Crochet coughed it right back with two runs in the bottom.

Half.

They tied it up in the second, only for him to surrender a 3-run homer to Carlos Correa

in the fifth, handing the Astros the edge they never lost.

Crochet owned it after the game, calling his performance embarrassing and saying he let

the team down when they needed a stopper.

It's not all on him, though.

The Sox made two errors and win just one for 7 with runners in scoring position, leaving

seven guys stranded.

They get a breather Thursday before their home opener, Friday, at Fenway, against the

San Diego Padres, a chance to reset after this rough road trip.

Crochet bounces back next week, versus the Milwaukee Brewers, and the squads got a channel

that Fenway fire to flip the script and start stacking wins.
