Alex Cora punished Alex Verdugo last week, but there is no fracture in the relationship between the Red Sox manager and talented outfielder.Cora pulled Verdugo from the middle game of the Boston-Cleveland series at Progressive Field due to lack of hustle and benched him for the finale.Boston's skipper claimed he wasn't trying to make an example out of Verdugo, but he felt the 27-year-old's effort level was "not acceptable" and warranted punishment.
