BALTIMORE -- The Boston Red Sox got issues. And one of them is how badly they need offense.
A day after erupting for 10 runs against the Baltimore Orioles -- including a bat-around fifth inning that erased a 6-1 deficit -- Boston’s bats went back into hibernation in a 1-0 extra-innings win over Baltimore on Tuesday. Even though they did enough to win, finally putting a run across in the top of the 11th, the string of 10 consecutive bagels that the Sox hung on the Camden Yards jumbotron prior to that was an ugly reminder that once the postseason rolls around, they might have trouble hanging with the American League’s heaviest hitters.
