Red Sox pitcher Garrett Crochet got credit for an assist after taking a line drive off his nose

The last thing any pitcher wants to see is a line drive screaming towards their face. And on Sunday, Red Sox pitcher Garrett Crochet walked away from that terrifying situation against the Twins — even if he didn't escape completely unscathed.

Pitching with no outs in the fourth inning, Garrett Crochet had Carlos Correa's 87 mph line drive clip him on the nose. That deflection off the nose was enough to knock the ball down for second baseman Kristian Campbell to make a play and throw out Correa at first.

Crochet was a bit confused at first, but aside from a bloody nose, he was fine to stay in the game. On top of that, he got credit for the infield assist on the play.

Garrett Crochet ended up getting clipped right on the nose. Terrifying, but seems like he dodged a bullet.

You won't see many 1-4-3 groundouts like that one.

Crochet was able to continue on through the fifth inning, but the Red Sox would lose, 5-4.
