John Tomase and Lou Merloni debate whether the Red Sox will consider bringing back Alex Cora as the team’s manager next season. Merloni says he believes Cora wants to return, but says it’s Chaim Bloom’s decision.
Right-hander Nick Pivetta looked sharp in his Red Sox debut Tuesday night as Boston downed the Orioles for their second straight victory.

Christian Vazquez crushed a three-run home run to give the Red Sox insurance in their 21st win of the season.
