Baseball Report: Alex Cora Still Facing Questions About Cheating Scandal In Return To Houston

CBS Dallas/Fort Worth

June 2, 2021

Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start of summer. It’s also a good mile-marker in the long MLB season. With two months of games played, the 2021 baseball season is a third of the way through. And that’s enough to get a sense of how things may shake out.

The Boston Red Sox, for example, seem to be for real. Alex Cora has led them to a 32-21 record so far, good enough for second place in the challenging American League East. He returned to Minute Maid Park in Houston for the first time since his suspension for his role in the Astros’ sign-stealing scandal. The Red Sox were trounced by the Astros, 11-2, in the first game of a four-game series between two contenders.

This week’s Baseball Report looks at Cora’s visit to Houston, the Baltimore Orioles’ losing streak and Cody Bellinger’s return to the Los Angeles Dodgers lineup.
