Less than 24 hours after ending Saturday’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays with a grand slam in the 10th inning, Xander Bogaerts got the scoring started for Boston with a home run Sunday.
The Red Sox shortstop lifted a 93 mph pitch off Marcus Stroman up and over the Green Monster in the first inning to give his team an early 1-0 lead.

Crushed.
The home run marked the 16th of the season for Bogaerts and his second in as many at-bats.
