Boston Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet had a close call when a line drive skipped off his glove and nose on its way to second base for a groundout. Red Sox manager Alex Cora rushed to the mound with a team trainer after the left-hander narrowly missed a direct hit off the bat of Minnesota shortstop Carlos Correa in the fourth inning on Sunday. The ball skimmed off Crochet’s glove as he turned his head before it hit his nose and continued its path. He stayed in and struck out the next batter, Jonah Bride, with a sweeper. He was pulled after the fifth inning.
