The Boston Red Sox have been historically bad at home this year, and those struggles continued in Tuesday night's 4-2 loss to the Baltimore Orioles.

After scoring 18 runs in their previous two games combined in Cleveland, the Red Sox fell flat in Tuesday's series opener against the Orioles at Fenway Park. They managed just two runs on five hits, none of which came with runners in scoring position.

The loss dropped Boston's record to 25-34 overall, including 9-20 at Fenway Park. Not only is that the worst home record in baseball, but it's also the Red Sox's worst home record to start a season since 1932.

Boston's offense has been the main reason for the club's home woes this year. On the road, the Red Sox average 4.7 runs per game and have a plus-19 run differential. At Fenway, however, they're averaging just 3.2 runs per game and have a minus-26 run differential.

Simply put, Boston needs to start hitting better at home if it wants to start winning more games there. Fenway is one of the best offensive parks in baseball, so the Red Sox need to start taking advantage of it.
