Alex Cora’s postgame presser after the Red Sox’s 6-4 win over the Guardians on Monday afternoon was loaded with sarcasm — especially when it came to Trevor Story’s sixth-inning home run.
“Trevor with that bomb,” manager Alex Cora joked.
Story’s 23rd home run of the season was one that could only be hit within the bizarre confines of Fenway Park — considering that the ball only traveled 306 feet down the right-field line.
Story’s big fly stood as one of the more puzzling homers hit within the 113-year-old ballpark.
What initially seemed like a harmless fly ball sailing toward foul territory quickly turned into disaster for Cleveland right fielder Jhonkensy Noel.
