After outclassing the Red Sox in sweeps at Fenway Park each of the last two Augusts, Boston got their get-back. In a three-game drubbing over the weekend, the Astros made all sorts of errors that Red Sox fans had become accustomed to going the other way.

Alex Cora shared that he got to sit on the Red Sox' war room for trade deadline day, believing their moves strengthened their pitching depth.

Alex Cora feels ‘good’ about the Red Sox’ starting depth after the trade deadline. "We’re better than a week ago in that aspect."
