Red Sox's Xander Bogaerts: Smacks 21st homer Thursday

Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with his 21st homer and two strikeouts in Thursday's loss to the Yankees.

Analysis:

Bogaerts now has more home runs in 154 games this season than he did in 318 coming into 2016. The 23-year-old shortstop has already set career highs in counting stats across the board with three games to play. He likely won't appear in all three, though, given that Boston rested five starters in this one.
