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.
Milwaukee got two runs back in the seventh after Crochet allowed a pair of singles, walked the bases loaded and hit David Hamilton with a pitch to pull Milwaukee within 3-1. Pinch-hitter Christian Yelich drove in a run on a fielder’s choice against reliever Zack Kelly.
Crochet allowed two runs on five hits in 6 1/3 innings with two walks and a hit batter. Aroldis Chapman picked up his third save with a scoreless ninth.
Misiorowski went 5 1/3 innings, allowing three runs on two hits and four walks, also hitting a batter. It was the fourth career game and second time this season Misiorowski struck out at least 10.
Milwaukee second-baseman Brice Turang missed his first game of the season with what manager Pat Murphy described as a foot or ankle injury.
Milwaukee had yet to announce a starter for Wednesday’s series finale against Red Sox RHP Sonny Gray (1-0, 4.50).

BOLIVIA, N.C. (AP) — A judge on Tuesday ordered that a Marine veteran charged with three counts of first-degree murder in a mass shooting at a North Carolina waterfront bar last year undergo psychiatric treatment after it was determined he lacks the capacity to understand his legal proceedings enough to help his lawyers.
The case of Nigel Max Edge had been scheduled for a Brunswick County court hearing in which the local prosecutor was slated to reveal whether he intended to seek the death penalty. But District Attorney Jon David said in a news release that part of the case was set aside because questions about Edge's “capacity to proceed” were raised by multiple mental health professionals.
“The defense has presented evaluations from two experts, and this office requested an independent evaluation by a state forensic examiner,” David said. “All three evaluations conclude that Mr. Edge currently lacks the capacity to proceed to trial.”
Superior Court Judge Jason Disbrow ordered that Edge be transferred to Cherry Hospital, a state psychiatric facility in Goldsboro, David said.
David said the state’s mental expert found that Edge “may be restored to capacity through appropriate treatment, including medication and counseling.”
Voicemail and email seeking comment were left for Edge's public defender, Matthew Geoffrion.
Authorities allege Edge, 41, piloted a small motorboat up to a dockside cocktail bar in Southport last Sept. 27 and opened fire with a short-barreled semiautomatic rifle. Three people were killed, and several others were injured.
Edge, who faces additional charges, was serving with an elite sniper unit in Iraq when he was shot four times, including once in the head. Friends and family say he has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and still has a bullet lodged in his brain.
Tuesday’s action has “the practical effect of suspending further litigation unless and until the defendant’s capacity is restored,” David said, adding the state could still seek the death penalty “should the facts and law warrant this designation.”
Edge will remain in custody during treatment, which David said would be for an “indeterminate” amount of time.
