The Red Sox are in a bad way right now, having lost each of their last four and seven of their last 10. The only good news, insofar as that is a thing that exists for this team right now, is that they are facing a guy in Ross Stripling who will give up his share of hard contact. If this offense is ready for a breakout that lasts beyond one single inning, it has to be tonight. And hey, they got Alex Cora back tonight as well. It’s Michael Wacha on the mound for Boston, with first pitch at 7:07 PM ET.
