Dustin Pedroia Sizzling as Red Sox, Indians Close Out Four-Game Series at Fenway ParkEditor'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.

Dustin Pedroia is on a tear right now, and he's showing no signs of slowing down any time soon.

Justin Masterson will be tasked with trying to keep the Red Sox second baseman in check on Sunday as Boston and Cleveland wrap up a four-game set at Fenway Park.

Pedroia carries a 13-game hitting streak into Sunday's clash. During that span, which includes six mult-hit games, he's upped his average to .321. Pedroia went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and a run scored on Saturday night as the Red Sox picked up a 4-1 win.

Daniel Nava is also among Boston's hot hitters, reaching safely in eight of his 12 plate appearances since getting called up to the big club on Thursday.
