Red Sox's Sandy Leon: Belts two homers Monday

Leon went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in Monday's game against the Orioles.

Analysis:

Leon, a switch-hitter, homered from both sides of the plate during Boston's nine-run fourth inning. These were his first extra-base hits of the spring. The 28-year-old catcher was cool at the plate to start the spring, but has heated up with more plate appearances, hitting in five of his last six games (7-for-19). Leon will open the season as Boston's starting catcher, but backup Christian Vazquez should grab at least two games a week.
