Michael Chavis is having quite a night at the plate Wednesday.
The Red Sox first baseman belted a two-run bomb to deep left-center field in the sixth inning, extending Boston’s lead to 5-0 heading into the bottom of the frame.
Chavis is a perfect 3-for-3 in the game, the homer coming on a hanging change up from Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Ryan Yarbrough.

Chavis has two home runs on the season, while it was the second blast of the night for the Red Sox. Alex Verdugo hit a home run of his own in the second inning.
Yarbrough exited in the sixth inning after giving up five earned runs on eight hits.
