Red Sox Defensive Woes Persist in Deflating Home Opener Loss
The Boston Red Sox hoped the friendly confines of Fenway Park would provide a cure for their early season defensive ailments. Instead, their woes only intensified in a deflating 7-0 loss to the Los Angeles Angels on Friday.
Entering their home opener with a 7-3 record on a West Coast road trip, the Red Sox looked to build off a strong start bolstered by stellar starting pitching. However, sloppy defense and an ice-cold offense resulted in the club’s fourth straight defeat to open their homestand.
