The Red Sox struggled at Fenway Park in recent years, posting a .500 home record from 2019 to 2024, with a particularly poor 77-85 record over the last two seasons. Factors contributing to this decline include lineup issues, injuries, and pitching problems. However, a revamp led by Craig Breslow's offseason moves and the emergence of promising prospects has created optimism for improvement. This was evident in a three-game sweep against the Cardinals, where Boston displayed their offensive power, scoring 36 runs and marking their first home sweep since July 2023.
Fenway Park had become a house of horrors for the Red Sox over the last few summers.
Boston's batters have long relished 82 games spent peppering the Green Monster or golfing hanging breaking balls onto Landsdowne Street.
Several factors have played into that poor track record over the last few years - be it an imperfect lineup lacking pop, injuries, pitching deficiencies, or a porous defensive infield.
That hope was reinforced this weekend - with Boston ushering in another home slate this summer by whalloping the Cardinals in a three-game sweep.
