Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora expressed a sense of urgency following the team's recent struggles, culminating in a 4-3 loss to the Los Angeles Angels. This defeat marked Boston's 17th one-run loss of the season, highlighting missed opportunities and defensive errors. Cora's frustration was evident as he acknowledged the team's failure to improve, stating, 'At one point, it has to be on me.' The Red Sox are now 4-5-1 at Fenway Park and have lost eight of their last 10 games.

The game began optimistically with starting pitcher Brayan Bello delivering a scoreless first inning, but the Angels quickly took a 3-0 lead. Despite outhitting the Angels, Boston's inability to capitalize on scoring opportunities and three fielding errors proved costly. With the squad's struggles continuing, Cora's call for improvement may require more than just words.
