Where would the Boston Red Sox be without Mitch Moreland? The reigning World Series champions certainly aren’t where they want to be at the bottom of the AL East but a miserable start to the season would appear utterly hopeless without the heroics of Moreland.
The early-season surge continued Thursday night against the Toronto Blue Jays as Moreland led the rally with his team-leading fifth home run of the season. He has now blasted a homer in four consecutive games in which he’s recorded an official at-bat. Most of those long balls have proved significant and this time was no different.
