COMMENTARY
The Red Sox won two. They could’ve won all four. And somehow, that wasn’t even the whole of it.

“Like I’ve been saying all along,” manager Alex Cora told reporters after Sunday’s 5-1 finale in Seattle against the Mariners. “I do believe we’re going to pitch.”
Ever eager to toot his team’s horn, not even Cora could’ve really expected this. Against a sleeper pick in the AL West, Boston’s starters allowed four earned runs in 22 innings across four games.
