Bogaerts went 3-for-5 with a run in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Royals.
Although he was overshadowed by the standout performances of Dustin Pedroia and Mookie Betts, Bogaerts broke out of an 0-for-10 stretch over his previous three games with Friday's production. He's come back down to earth in the second half and is slashing an anemic .215/.275/.258 in August, but his season average is still a stellar .308.
