The Red Sox have a rotation with a clear ace and no one who has performed remotely to the level of a No. 2 (or even No. 3) starter.

Garrett Crochet has done more than his part for the Red Sox. The rest of the rotation understands they have to contribute, too.

Garrett Crochet got battered around a bit in his first taste of the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry, but he still notched nine strikeouts and got credit for the victory.
