Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts tied a season-high with three hits Wednesday against the Blue Jays. He had two doubles, one RBI and one run.
Bogaerts has hit safely in eight of his last nine games. He's batting .394 (13 for 33) with one triple, one home run, three doubles and three RBI in that span.
“I have been hitting the ball pretty well lately but with no results,” Bogaerts said, per the Boston Herald. "Hard hit line outs, hard hit ground balls and deep fly balls and I’ve been driving the ball. I came in here today pretty excited to be in the lineup and just try and help my team."
Bogaerts has raised his average from .252 to .283 during his latest hot streak.
"It’s just some little stuff because I had been fouling off too many balls," Bogaerts said. "I kind talked to the hitting coach like what I was feeling and we kind of agreed on what it was. It was something that needed fixing and I fixed it. Guys are throwing me a lot of first-pitch strikes and I’m changing my approach sometimes."
