Red Sox Struggle with Offense, Fielding Errors

The Boston Red Sox faced a disappointing 11-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox, marked by five errors and 11 strikeouts, exacerbating their struggles early in the season with a 7-8 record. Manager Alex Cora emphasized the need for improvement, particularly in defense and contact hitting, as the team leads the league in errors and strikeouts. The return of pitcher Brayan Bello is expected to bolster a struggling rotation that has relied on underperforming players like Sean Newcomb. Additionally, first baseman Triston Casas has faced scrutiny for his poor performance in the clean-up spot, contributing to a lack of offensive production. The team's ongoing issue with striking out in critical situations, particularly with runners in scoring position, further complicates their efforts to regain momentum. Despite the early season challenges, the Red Sox are looking to adjust and improve as the season progresses.
