Alex Cora’s record
Earlier, the Boston Red Sox missed out on the playoffs by a whisker. Hence, they had to compete in the AL Wild Card match against the New York Yankees for a second shot at the playoffs. Remarkably, the Red Sox leveled up their game and clinched the wild card ticket.
In what was one of the best comebacks of the year, they have now triumphed over the Rays. Notably, the Rays had clinched the first game of the ALDS series, giving Red Sox a disappointing start by 5-0. However, the Red Sox made a strong comeback by clinching the next three games and booking their place in the ALCS.

Undoubtedly, their manager, Alex Cora, has played a significant role in this victory. Notably, Cora himself has added a few outstanding records to this resume with that win.
Alex has won all the four playoff series that he has guided as a manager, which also includes winning the 2018 World Series. Moreover, he remains undefeated in potential series-clinching games as a manager with an impressive record of 5-0, a feat no other manager has ever reached.
While players are the ones who perform, Alex is the one who made the right strategies. It was his decisions that had helped the Red Sox sail to the next level.
Alex Cora is now 5-0 as a manager in potential clinchers. That’s the most wins without a loss for a manager in baseball history.
What he’s done with this team — with suspect starting pitching and a bullpen that every night he somehow figures out — is remarkable. What a fun team.
