Red Sox Fall to 1-5 After Five-Game Losing Streak

Boston opened the 2026 season 1-5 after losing five straight games. The Red Sox have scored 17 runs through six games, their fewest through six since 2011. The skid followed their Opening Day win and has left the club in an early hole in the standings. The weak offense and mounting losses force immediate lineup and pitching decisions, increasing pressure on the front office and manager.
