The Boston Red Sox wrapped up April on a sour note, finishing the month with an 11-15

record that put them dead last in the AL East.

That dismal stretch led to the firing of manager Alex Cora and most of his coaching staff

on April 25th, marking the end of a brutal start to.

The season.

Earlier this month, Cora had set an ambitious target of 17 wins in April to get things rolling,

but injuries to key guys like Roman Anthony, Garrett Crochet, and Sunny Gray made it a steep

uphill battle, especially with their packed schedule.

Fans and front-office alike were fed up as this slow start echo patterns from Cora's

past seasons, leaving the team with the third worst mark-in.

Now under Interim Skipper Chad Tracy, Boston's aiming to flip the script in May, shaking off

a two-game skid when they host the Houston Astros at home.

On Friday, with off days behind them, the Red Sox have a clean slate to build momentum

and climb out of the basement before it's too late.
