Franchy Cordero just mashed his eighth homer of the season 🔥 #RedSox • #DirtyWater• @SoxDingrs

The solo shot would cut the Rays lead down to 2-1.

Over his last five games, Cordero has hit .333 with a .429 on-base percentage and 1.083 OPS. Cordero has been inconsistent at the plate all season with the Red Sox. Manager Alex Cora will likely continue to ride Cordero’s hot bat into Minnesota.
