TORONTO -- With manager Alex Cora back on the bench, the Boston Red Sox broke out of their recent slump.
Xander Bogaerts had four hits and the Red Sox celebrated Cora's return from COVID-19 by beating the Toronto Blue Jays 7-1 on Wednesday night, snapping a four-game losing streak.
"His view on the game from the dugout perspective is always on point," Bogaerts said of having Cora back after six games away. "He always kind of seems to make the right decision.''
Boston went 1-5 under bench coach Will Venable while Cora was away.
