Diaz went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double and two total runs scored in Friday's 7-3 win over Boston.

The third baseman recorded his second straight three-hit effort. He opened the scoring with his seventh homer of the year in the first inning, setting the tone for Tampa Bay. Diaz doesn't add much pop -- he has matching on-base and slugging percentages at .373 as more of a contact hitter. The 29-year-old has added 37 RBI and 45 runs scored through 365 plate appearances as a near-everyday presence in the lineup.
