We knew it was only a matter of time before the bats came alive. While the team still ranks dead last in the American League in home runs, the Boston Red Sox are showing signs of a power surge with Hanley Ramirez leading the way.
Boston’s designated hitter blasted a pair of home runs in Tuesday’s victory over the Baltimore Orioles. Both were nearly identical moonshots down the left field line that cleared the Green Monster before eventually falling somewhere on Lansdowne Street.
The first came in the bottom of the fourth inning, a solo shot against Orioles starter Alec Asher that gave the Red Sox a 2-0 lead.
