Red Sox lineup has turned into a home run hitting powerhouse
The Boston Red Sox have gone from worst to first in the power department, transforming a lineup that was a weakness last year.
The Boston Red Sox lineup has been a mirror image of their 2017 version. A year after finishing dead last in the American League in home runs, Boston currently leads the majors in that category.
In addition to the home runs, Boston also leads the league with a .270 batting average and .465 slugging percentage. They trail only the New York Yankees in runs scored and OPS. The Boston bats have woken up from their post-David Ortiz era slumber to reclaim their status as an offensive juggernaut.
