Alex Bregman seems to be settling in just fine with the Red Sox.
Boston’s top free-agent pickup was named American League Player of the Week by MLB on Monday. The 31-year-old third baseman slugged two homers and five doubles while driving in 10 runs over his last six games.
Bregman put together his best game as a Red Sox on Sunday night against the Cardinals, going 4-for-5 at the plate with a three-run homer, two doubles, and six RBI in Boston’s eventual 18-7 victory over St. Louis.
Bregman’s hefty stat line stands as the first time a Red Sox batter has recorded at least four hits and six RBI in a single game since Ceddanne Rafaela drove in seven runs against the Cubs on April 27.
