Garrett Crochet wasn’t happy about being pulled after 77 pitches in five innings. He wanted to save the ‘pen after forcing them to work his last few starts. “That was kind of going on in my mind: ‘It’s time I do my part and get through six.’ I just really wanted to. (1/2)

Garrett Crochet done after 76 pitches in five innings. He gave up two runs on a second-inning homer and was practically perfect otherwise. He departs a tie game, relieved by the newly called-up Brad Keller.
Keller coming into pitch in the sixth. Crochet threw 77 pitches over five innings.
Looks as though Crochet's outing is going to be over at five innings, 77 pitches. Ethan Katz seemed to be explaining why. Keller is warming.
After he gave up the homer in the second inning, Garrett Crochet gave up an infield hit, spiking a throw to first on a squibber next to the mound. Since then? He’s retired 11 straight Twins. It’s still 2-all midway through the fifth.
I think this is 3 starts in a row that Crochet has gotten lit up in the 2nd inning. Can’t explain that.
