The Boston Red Sox are facing significant offensive struggles, highlighted by their recent run of scoring only four runs in three games against the Blue Jays after a promising start to the season. In Tuesday's 6-1 loss marked by sub-freezing temperatures, the team's performance plummeted, accumulating just four hits throughout the three-match series. Managed by Alex Cora, their strikeout rate has soared to worrying levels, with 14 strikeouts noted in their most recent game. Player Alex Bregman affirmed the team's need for improvement, emphasizing personal accountability for performance amidst a harsh early season climate.
"Yeah, there's no excuses. Both teams have to do it. So we got to be better. It starts with me. I got to be better."
"A lot of strikeouts," a candid Alex Cora said when asked his thoughts of Boston's offensive approach, with Boston fanning 14 times in Wednesday's loss.
After scoring 44 runs over a four-game span from April 3-6, the Red Sox have now scored four total runs over their first three games against the Blue Jays... dropping all three matchups.
Boston's four hits marked the fewest they've collected in a game since getting one-hit by the Rays on Sept. 19, 2024 - with the team now batting just 2-for-29 with runners in scoring position over this three-game slide.
