Big Day by Bogaerts Sparks 5-2 Boston Win
Xander Bogaerts had an impact in the 5-2 Boston win over Tampa Bay. The 26-year old shortstop was 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. Jon Lester went 6.1 innings, allowing 1 run on 9 hits. The left-hander struck out 9 and walked 1. With the win, he ups his record to 13-3 this season. Jonathan Papelbon recorded the save, making him 26 for 30.

The game turned with one out in the top of the fourth. That's when Bogaerts hit a 3-run home run off Scott Kazmir. It propelled the Red Sox into the lead, 3-0.

"I'm trying to see the ball big, see the ball up in the zone and put the barrel on it," Bogaerts told the Boston Times.

The third-place Red Sox are now 55-50, the Rays 47-58.
