Raise your hand if you expected Xander Bogaerts to be the top run producer for the Boston Red Sox. It’s safe to say this is somewhat unexpected. Yet here we are, more than halfway through the season, and Bogaerts leads the team with 20 home runs and 71 RBI.
Bogaerts homered in each game of the weekend series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, marking the first time in his career that he’s hit a home run in three consecutive games. He’s also driven in at least one run in each of his last six games, the longest RBI streak of his career.
