Trevor Story's hot start to the season has hit a rough patch, going 0-for-17 in his last four games after beginning with a .337 batting average. The Red Sox have been plagued by inconsistency among their hitters, with manager Alex Cora acknowledging the challenges of a long season. Players like Alex Bregman and Wilyer Abreu have shown to be more steady, but even they have faced slumps. Rafael Devers managed to hit a home run against Cleveland, marking a potential turnaround after struggling for several games. However, overall, Boston's offense has faltered, especially with runners in scoring position, leaving them unable to capitalize on scoring opportunities.
