Bogaerts' hit streak reaches 21 with wall-scraping HR

Watch out, Jackie Bradley Jr., Your buddy Xander Bogaerts is coming for you.

The Boston Red Sox shortstop was quietly putting his own prolonged hit streak together during Bradley's 29-game run, which ended Thursday. Now, Bogaerts has that spotlight to himself, and he upped baseball's second-longest hit streak of 2016 to 21 games Saturday by just barely taking Marcus Stroman over the wall at Rogers Centre.

Bogaerts came into Saturday's game hitting .391/.430/.598 with 34 hits during his 20-game streak. For comparison's sake, Bradley slashed .415/.488/.783 with 44 hits over his 29-gamer.
