Xander Bogaerts made Boston Red Sox history Friday night against the Oakland Athletics, and he marked the occasion by hitting a home run.
Bogaerts, who surpassed Everett Scott for most games played at shortstop in the franchise’s history, celebrated the feat by breaking a scoreless deadlock in the top of the fourth inning by sending a pitch from James Kaprielian over the left-center field wall at RingCentral Coliseum.
Check out how Bogaerts put the Red Sox in front with his sixth home run of the season:
For Bogaerts, it was his 1,094th game at shortstop in a Red Sox uniform, as he broke Scott’s record, which stood since 1921.
