Trevor Story’s 2 RBI double lifts Red Sox over Brewers 3-2 and ends 3-game skid

BOSTON (AP) — Trevor Story lined a two-run double in the sixth as the Boston Red Sox overcame 11 strikeouts to beat the Milwaukee Brewers 3-2 on Tuesday night and end a three-game skid.

Garrett Crochet struck out seven for the Red Sox, who won for just the third time in 11 games this season and avoided a 2-9 start, which has happened only four times in franchise history, most recently in 2011.

Crochet (2-1) outlasted Milwaukee right-hander Jacob Misiorowski, who struck out 10 before running into trouble in the sixth.

Misiorowski (1-1) struck out the first five batters and didn’t allow a hit until Willson Contreras lined a single to right with two out in the fourth. After striking out Roman Anthony to start the sixth, Misiorowski faded quickly and walked the next three batters. Reliever DL Hall came in to face Story, who lined an 0-2 changeup down the left-field line to put Boston up 2-0. Caleb Durbin drove in another run on a ground-out to second.
