Tyler O'Neill enjoys homer, closure after a welcome homecoming in St. Louis

Despite a 5 for 17 day with runners in scoring position Sunday, the Red Sox are still hitting .159 (18 of 113) in such spots the last 12 games, with 89 left on base. Cora believes the issue started in Atlanta on May 7, when Adam Duvall made a nice sliding catch to take away what could have been a two-run double for O'Neill in the eighth inning of a 4-2 loss. Such trends usually go in cycles, but the Sox have been waiting a while for an upswing.
