It's the Red Sox' pitching staff that's stolen headlines during the team's five-game winning streak, but the offense is doing its thing as well.
David Ortiz continues to power the Boston attack, while Daniel Nava has been a pleasant surprise since being called up last week.
Ortiz's average sits at .353 after a 2-for-4 performance on Tuesday. He even smacked his eighth home run of the season in that game, while upping his RBI total to 27. It's truly been a blast from the past for the 36-year-old DH this season.
Nava's success, however, is something we're not quite accustomed to. There hadn't been much talk about the 29-year-old outfielder heading into this season, but he's becoming quite the commodity in the Red Sox lineup.
Nava is hitting .533 (7-for-12) while getting on base at a .708 clip. He'll look to sustain that success against Tampa Bay's Jeremy Hellickson on Wednesday.
Here are the Red Sox and Rays temperatures for May 16.
