‘We had a horrible month’: A closer look at why the Red Sox have struggled offensively

Coming into the season, the offense was supposed to be a strength on a Red Sox team with several other question marks and unknowns.

So far, the 9-13 Red Sox are 21st in the Majors in batting average (.225), 24th in runs (76), 25th in home runs (12), and 29th in on-base percentage (.273).

“We had a horrible month in April,” manager Alex Cora said. “We didn’t do our job.”

Cora said it’s easy to talk about how it’s early in the season, but the reality is the Red Sox have to put together better at-bats.
