BOSTON — Time is ticking, and the Red Sox are still in need of a first baseman.
Nearly four months into the season, the Red Sox are still without a major league caliber first baseman that can provide consistent offense or defense. On Wednesday, it cost them again.
The Franchy Cordero experiment hit another low at Fenway Park, where he made a trio of errors – including two in one play – that haunted the Red Sox in a frustrating loss to the Cleveland Guardians. Bobby Dalbec, playing third base for Rafael Devers hit two homers and drove in five runs but it was not enough as the Red Sox fell, 7-6.
