Xander Bogaerts seems to be finding his second-half groove.
The Red Sox shortstop went yard Thursday, giving Boston a 3-1 lead over the Cleveland Guardians in the sixth inning with a three-run round-tripper. It was his eighth homer of the season.
Bogaerts has started to drive the ball over the last few days, with his home run accounting for his fourth extra-base hit in the series against Cleveland. He extended his hitting streak to six games with the hit — improving his batting average to .318.
The homer traveled 412 feet into the night, coming off the bat at 105 miles per hour.
