Overview

  • Crochet is set to open Sunday’s series finale at Wrigley Field with no formal pitch limit after extra rest following his July 12 complete-game shutout.
  • Rookie Cade Horton is scheduled to oppose Boston in his first career matchup against the Sox during his 11th start of the season.
  • Chicago owns MLB’s best record (59-39), has won four straight and outscored Boston 10-1 through the first two games of the series.
  • Boston’s offense has mustered just one run and two extra-base hits over 18 innings against Chicago pitching.
  • Right-hander Tanner Houck remains on the injured list recovering from a right flexor issue, leaving Boston’s rotation depth under strain.
