The Boston Red Sox lost again on Saturday , falling 5-3 to the New York Yankees at Fenway Park.
The Red Sox were unable to rally from a 4-0 deficit, struggling offensively against Max Fried & Co. They clawed back thanks to a pair of solo homers but continued to scuffle with men on base, going 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position and stranding eight runners.
Boston has now lost three in a row and six of its last nine since losing Roman Anthony to an oblique injury.
The Red Sox are simply a different team without their superstar rookie, especially offensively . They’ve averaged just 3.89 runs per game since he went down — well below their season average of 4.90. They’re also 37-41 (.474 winning percentage) without Anthony this year compared to 44-27 (.620) with him.
