COMMENTARY
It was quite the succinct little wrapper from Alex Cora on Wednesday afternoon, after his Red Sox dropped their finale in Cleveland.
“It sucks,” the manager told reporters. “We lost the series, but we played well.”
Hard to deny, and the simplicity of the description was a contrast to the game, even by the standards of this perpetual fire drill.
Even Masataka Yoshida played. No small thing of late.
Rafael Devers, feeling a little sore following his Wednesday return from injury, was the DH. David Hamilton got his first start at second base, Rob Refsnyder his first in left.
