ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — American League strikeout leader Garrett Crochet fanned seven over four innings at Texas in another shortened start. The Chicago White Sox left-hander already has a career high in innings, but is a potential trade target for contenders. The 25-year-old converted reliever is up to 111 1/3 innings in 21 starts. He has thrown only 10 innings in his three July starts for the White Sox, who have the worst record in the majors. He also pitched a scoreless inning in the All-Star Game a week ago. Manager Pedro Grifol says the White Sox have to be careful to manage Crochet’s workload. Crochet upped his strikeout total to 157.
