Cooling off for real reasons. The 2-4 record this week is doing most of the damage. Making it worse, only 1.7 R/G over the last 7. The offense is a drag on the score.

Red Sox News

The Red Sox are left to grapple with the haunting reminder of what could have been after Kyle Schwarber's recent homer at Fenway Park, a stark contrast to their current struggles. While they’re sitting at 17-23 and fifth in the AL East, they’ve shown signs of life with a 4-2 record over the last week, thanks in large part to impressive pitching. Ranger Suarez dazzled in his last outing against his former team, tossing 5 1/3 scoreless innings, proving that the Sox might just have an ace up their sleeve. Yet, with a concerning average of 3.7 runs per game this week, the offense needs to step up if they hope to compete against the Phillies. The AL East is heating up, and the Red Sox must find their rhythm before the season slips further away.
