Jarrod Saltalamacchia Will Try to Make Big Night Spill Over Into Series Finale Against Phillies

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.

Jarrod Saltalamacchia had a rough start to the series, receiving 12 stitches and leaving Friday's game early after taking a ball to the ear. But he returned to the lineup on Saturday and put together a big night.

Saltalamacchia went 3-for-4 with a home run and two runs scored in Boston's 7-5 win. He'll look to parlay that into some momentum at the plate as the Red Sox finish off their three-game interleague trip with the Phillies on Sunday.

Salty is now hitting .283 this season. His dinger on Saturday was his sixth of the season, and he's now driven in 16 runs.

Here are the Red Sox and Phillies temperatures for May 20.
