Bogaerts hit a three-run homer in Sunday's 10-9 win over the Astros. It was the third homer in the past eight games for Boston's starting shortstop.
Bogaerts has started to flex his bat in early May, with six extra-base hits and nine RBI during the last eight games. He's now slugging .503, well beyond his previous career levels. Perhaps this is just the beginning of a power element we've been waiting to see out of Bogaerts.
