Red Sox Nation Stats

@OnceABootlegger #RedSox could use a reboot, no doubt.

Red Sox, can we unplug the season and start over?

@Rubethedude Very true. Entering tonight's action no active #MLB player with 70+ at-bats vs #RedSox had a better career OPS than Álvarez (1.198).

That's all for now, fans. Thanks for following today's #RedSox action with @RSNStats.

The real issue, with the usual caveats about it being early days (as though, somehow, these game count less than ones in September), is this punchless #RedSox offense. It was diminished after 2025 and not replenished. Can't be all that surprised by endless 1-2-3 innings, can we?

#RedSox off-season plan was for run prevention. That was not, of course, what we got tonight. Personally, I don't doubt Ranger Suarez will figure it out. He's a good pitcher, has been for a while.

AL East FINALs: #Astros 8, #RedSox 1 #Rangers 5, #Orioles 2 #Rockies 14, #BlueJays 5 #Rays 3, #Brewers 2 #Mariners leading #Yankees 1-0 after 5 innings in Seattle.

First time #RedSox have allowed 13+ hits and 4+ home runs in a game since last April 14 at #Rays. Happened just once last season. Only other time for BOS vs #Astros was on May 17, 2022 at Fenway.

⭐️ 9th time #RedSox have struck out 12 or more times and scored just one run in a game since the start of 2025. Most such games in American League in that time. BOS is 0-9 in those games.

#RedSox Manager Cora on team offense: "It's only four games into the season, but you can't chase in this league. That's how they make their living, those guys on the mound, they get ahead and then they go to the edges, so we have to be better in that aspect."

#RedSox Manager Cora on Caleb Durbin: "Just got to keep working. Talked to him a little bit, he's working hard, that's the reality of it. He hasn't had results but today, I think, he was able to slow it down."

#RedSox Manager Cora on Ranger Suarez: "There was some good and there were some things we've got to work, right? And he will."

#RedSox Manager Alex Cora on #Astros Lance McCullers: "He was really good. We didn't put pressure on him early on." Says, "You've got to tip your hat, he was really good."

#RedSox fall to 0-2 when opponents score first, 1-2 when scoring less than 4 runs, 0-3 without the benefit of a home run, 0-3 when trailing after 6 innings, 1-1 in series openers. #MLB
