Red Sox struggle with power as Yankees lead MLB in home runs

The Boston Red Sox currently rank last in Major League Baseball with 49 home runs this season. Their offensive struggles have seen them average just 3.3 runs per game at Fenway Park, contributing to a disappointing 10-21 record at home. In contrast, the New York Yankees have excelled, hitting an MLB high of 97 home runs, nearly double that of the Red Sox. With the trade deadline approaching on August 3, the Red Sox's performance as they pursue a wild card spot will dictate their strategy to bolster their lineup. Willson Contreras remains the team's top slugger amid these issues.
