Alex Cora and the Boston Red Sox got back on track with a dominant 15-1 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday night.

Going into the matchup, the Red Sox were going through a rough six-game losing streak. They lost all three games against the Los Angeles Angels and fell in a 9-0 shutout to begin their series against the Blue Jays.

This motivated the Boston squad to snap out of it and dominate Toronto on both sides of the ball. They took a 9-1 lead after three innings and never looked back, returning to the win column with a solid victory.

Cora reflected on the win after the game, per team reporter Christopher Smith. He knew it was a necessary win but says that the ups and downs are natural throughout the long season.

“Obviously we needed it but we're not panicking. It's part of the season. You're going to win five in a row, six in a row. This is gonna happen. I think the timing of it — I think people made a bigger deal than what it is,” Cora said.
