The Boston Red Sox have turned their fortunes around, winning two straight games against the Milwaukee Brewers, largely due to a strategic lineup change by manager Alex Cora. Trevor Story, who started the season batting second and struggled with a mere .119 average and 17 strikeouts in the first nine games, was moved to the fifth position. This adjustment has paid off, as Story has since recorded hits in all three games against the Brewers, driving in six RBIs and raising his average to .273. The Red Sox scored a total of 14 runs during this stretch, demonstrating a significant offensive improvement. Story, who believes that playing is key to overcoming slumps, has experience batting fifth, where he has performed better historically. Cora's decision to keep Story in the lineup while changing his batting order has proven beneficial for the team's overall performance.
