"Through two games against the Yankees this season, Alex Cora's club has only had one baserunner cross home plate. That lone run came on Wednesday with two outs in the ninth inning, only marginally lessening the blow of an eventual 4-1 loss to New York."
"It's been tough, the whole homestand. ... We've got to be better. Everybody here believes that we have a good team. Good teams have to find a way to score runs against a good pitcher."
"Instead, the fans who have braved the chilly conditions at Fenway so far in 2026 have been subjected to a regular exercise in pain and punishment."
The Boston Red Sox have faced significant offensive struggles early in the season, managing only one run in two games against the New York Yankees. Despite optimism for the season, the team has collected just nine hits over 18 innings. Manager Alex Cora acknowledged the need for improvement, emphasizing that good teams must score against strong pitchers. The team's offseason changes have raised concerns about their ability to compete effectively, particularly regarding their lack of right-handed power and veteran presence.
