Short-handed Red Sox seek series win vs. Guardians

After an impressive showing against the league's hottest team, the Red Sox can close an already successful six-game trip with a series victory over the Cleveland Guardians on Thursday. Despite missing Trevor Story (shoulder), Lucas Giolito (elbow), Triston Casas (rib), Garrett Whitlock (oblique) and Nick Pivetta (elbow), the Red Sox are three games above .500, lead the majors with a 1.73 starters ERA and near the top with 33 home runs. "That's the nature of this business," Boston manager Alex Cora said of the injuries.
