Fenway Woes: Red Sox Suffer Worst Home Start Since 1932
4 Jun
Summary
- Red Sox record 9-20 at home, their worst since 1932.
- Team struggles offensively at Fenway Park compared to road games.
- Garrett Crochet MRI shows low-grade lat strain; Trevor Story rehab begins.
The Boston Red Sox are facing significant difficulties at Fenway Park, currently holding a major-league-worst 9-20 record at home. This marks their worst performance through 29 home games since a 7-22 start in 1932.
Players like Isiah Kiner-Falefa have voiced their frustration, describing the situation as a "rabbit hole" and noting a difference in team "vibe" between road and home games. The team's offense has faltered at Fenway, struggling to match their performance in recent road series.
Pitcher Connelly Early was unable to secure a win, allowing key home runs that contributed to the loss. Despite battling through innings, Early expressed frustration with his recent outings, particularly the number of home runs he has given up.
Despite the home struggles, the Red Sox received some positive injury updates. Left-hander Garrett Crochet's MRI revealed a very low-grade lat strain, allowing him to begin throwing when asymptomatic. Shortstop Trevor Story has also commenced his rehab for a sports hernia, with a projected return of eight to 12 weeks.
