After a strong start, Trevor Story has struggled significantly, going 0-for-17 with nine strikeouts in four games. Manager Alex Cora acknowledges the Red Sox's inconsistent hitting throughout the season, emphasizing the need for improvement and consistency among batters. While players like Kristian Campbell and Alex Bregman are performing well, others, including Rafael Devers and the catchers, have faced difficulties. Devers did manage a notable home run in the recent game, but the team collectively struggled with runners in scoring position, ultimately leading to their loss against Cleveland.
Story's recent struggle is emblematic of the Red Sox's overall inconsistency, which has plagued their lineup throughout the season, according to manager Alex Cora. He stated, "It's part of the season. It's 162. And we're not going to be hot the whole time. We've just gotta keep working hard, keep getting better and try to be a little bit more consistent."
Highlighting recent player performances, Cora noted, "We didn't cash in. We put some good at-bats but then we didn't cash in, so we just gotta be better," after their loss against Cleveland.
Devers' performance in Game 1, hitting a 381-foot home run that tied the game, was praised by Cora, who referred to it as "a great sign" amid the team's struggles.
Despite mixed results, a few players, including Kristian Campbell and Alex Bregman, have emerged as consistent hitters, as noted by the challenges faced by other players like Connor Wong.
