ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Alex Cora has never wavered on knowing that the Boston Red Sox are a good team, despite their early struggles and being at the bottom of the AL East standings.
“Nothing has changed,” Cora said. “Just we got off to a bad start, and we know where we’re at.”
The Red Sox now seem to be making a move in the right direction. They have their first series victory in a month.
J.D. Martinez extended his on-base streak to 31 games with a first-inning homer, 42-year-old Rich Hill pitched into the seventh in his return from the COVID-19 list and the Red Sox won 11-3 over the Texas Rangers on Saturday night.
