UP NEXT WHEN: 1 p.m. Sunday The Red Sox hope Sale’s return is as effective as Crawford’s was on Saturday at Hadlock Field. Crawford, a right-hander in his fourth season as a pro, tossed four scoreless innings for the Portland Sea Dogs in a 5-1 win over the New Hampshire Fisher Cats before a pandemic-reduced capacity crowd of 1,835. It was a textbook performance by Crawford, who established his fastball early – pinpointing on the corners – and then mixed in curveballs and plenty of cut fastballs (yes, Kutter throws a pretty good cutter). He gave up three hits and no walks while striking out five.
