a rough stretch

The numbers aren't lying. A 2-4 stretch over the last 7 is hard to spin. Making it worse, only 1.6 R/G over the last 7. The offense is a drag on the score.

Red Sox News

Trevor Story's placement on the 10-day injured list with a sports hernia adds another blow to a struggling Boston Red Sox team that has now lost four of its last six games, including a tight 2-3 defeat to the Braves. With the Red Sox sitting at 18-26, their offense is sputtering, averaging just 1.4 runs per game over the past week. As if that weren’t enough, fans are left anxiously speculating about Rafael Devers' future amidst trade rumors that should be put to rest. Meanwhile, in the minor leagues, Luke Heyman is emerging as a catching prospect to watch, showing promise in Single-A that the Sox desperately need. With injuries piling up and lackluster performances becoming the norm, the team faces significant challenges as they prepare for their next match against the formidable Braves.
