The Red Sox didn’t take care of business in their first series coming out of the MLB All-Star break. There’s no other way to put it.
That said, a suboptimal weekend in Los Angeles won’t dictate how the Boston front office handles its business for the rest of the month.
The Red Sox were sitting pretty when the regular season was paused, in control of an American League wild-card spot and only 4 1/2 games back of first place in the East.
