BOSTON -- The day after losing a matchup of first-place teams in the American League East, Boston Red Sox manager John Farrell was frank in assessing his team’s position.
“I do know this, in the AL East, we’ve got to perform better from a bottom-line standpoint,” Farrell said Wednesday, reflecting on a 3-2 loss to the Baltimore Orioles the night before. “Our win-loss record isn’t what we want it to be and we’ve got to go out and continue to execute in those key moments [against division opponents].”
The Sox enter Wednesday’s matchup with the Orioles at 14-16 in division play.
