After losing three in a row for just the second time all season, the Red Sox and their slumping offense got off the schneid on Wednesday. Unlike how these things normally go with Mookie Betts and/or J.D. Martinez leading the way, this time it was Xander Bogaerts. Granted, the entire lineup hit well including the two stars, but Bogaerts was on another level and he carried the team to victory in this game, at least as much as any one player could carry them to victory. It got me to thinking about the appreciation level for the Red Sox shortstop.
Xander Bogaerts: Forever overshadowed
