Bogaerts went 2-for-5 with a double in Friday night's loss to Houston. He extended his hitting streak to eight games (15-for-37) and has five consecutive multi-hit games (11-for-24).
Bogaerts is following a similar trajectory in 2016 as he did last season -- a middling start in the cooler months before breaking out in the warmer weather -- only this year, he's accelerated the pace. In 2015, it wasn't until June that he started heating up and that wasn't nearly to the degree of his 2016 performance. Here in 2016, after posting a .784 OPS in April, Bogaerts has elevated that figure to 1.014 in May.
