Yoshida went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in a loss to Houston on Monday.
Yoshida began the game on the bench but pinch hit for Connor Wong in the sixth inning. The 31-year-old came through with a big knock, swatting a two-run homer to left field to give Boston a two-run lead. The long ball also extended Yoshida's hitting streak to seven games, during which he's batting an absurd .632 (12-for-19) with two homers, six RBI, six runs and four walks.
