Daniel Nava Sizzling at Plate As Red Sox Open Quick Two-Game Series With Mariners

Editor's note: The temperature gauge is a Bill James-created statistic that measures how hot or cold hitters are. We will spotlight Red Sox and opposing team temperatures on game days.

Daniel Nava is doing all that he can to make sure he stays in the bigs with a quick start to his latest stint in the majors.

Nava was called up last week after a strong start to the season at Pawtucket, and he's been even better since arriving in Boston. He's 6-for-10 in the four games since his return, helped along by a 2-for-2 day with three RBIs on Sunday. His on-base percetage is also an incredible .750 through his first series back.
