Red Sox Stumble, Millar's Hope for Homestand

0:00It's April 2nd. Welcome in. This is Boston Red Sox News today, where team coverage meets AI. The Boston Red Sox are stumbling out the gate with a 1 win, 5 loss record, tying them for the worst mark in Major League Baseball alongside the Chicago White Sox and Oakland Athletics after a sweep by the Houston Astros. Kevin Malar, the 2004 World Series champ with Boston, spoke up on MLB Network this week, admitting he's starting to feel a little uneasy. As they head into their home opener, fans in adheated American League East could turn restless quick, especially with the Blue Jays, Orioles and Rays looking stronger right now. Knows the pressure is real in a division this stacked. The offense is dragging with a low slugging percentage and just six home runs and six games so they need some real pop to spark things like those big. Three runs shots that change everything. They've got a six game home stand ahead against the San Diego Padres and Milwaukee Brewers Winnab and they're back in the mix, drop it and early.

1:02April could feel a whole lot heavier, but Malar still believes they can chase down the crown if Fenway lights a fire.
