Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet looks ready for Opening Day. Boston's big lefty was locked in once again Sunday afternoon as he mowed down the Minnesota Twins over four-plus innings of work in his penultimate start of the spring.

"I hope to shoulder all the responsibilities that come with it with pride and just lead this team," Crochet said.
