After the 10th and by far best game of his big-league career yesterday, Travis Shaw had little clue for why he was so hot at the plate.
But he, the Red Sox and fans still watching the Red Sox enjoyed his 4-for-4 outing to the hilt in the 11-7 victory over the Rays.
“No reason – just trying to stick with my approach and not try to do too much out there today,” said Shaw, who hit the first two home runs of his big-league career and also scored five times. “Obviously once you get a couple of hits, your confidence level gets going a little bit and you start feeling good about yourself and I was able to carry that through the whole game.
