Alex Cora, Rafael Devers express collective disappointment with Red Sox’ offense
Rafael Devers is in the midst of a four-game home run streak, but his struggles with runners in scoring position have continued.The Red Sox’ sputtering offense disappointed again Saturday, wasting another solid outing from their rotation in a 7-2 loss to the Cardinals.
In addition to scoring just two runs, Boston’s offense only had two hits through the first seven innings. Somehow, the Red Sox were able to tie the game up, 2-2, in the eighth inning when Jarren Duran scored from first on a double from Rob Refsnyder.
It ended up being all for naught, though, because Justin Slaten gave up four earned runs in the bottom of the frame.
