Red Sox seek offensive spark amid mixed results in recent games

Summary

The Boston Red Sox continue their search for offensive consistency as they face critical matchups this weekend. Recently, the team has achieved five wins in their last seven games, but much of their success is attributed to late-game rallies rather than sustained early scoring.

The team may welcome back Roman Anthony and Trevor Story soon, as they aim to improve their performance against left-handed starters this weekend.
