The veteran third baseman collected three knocks at Rogers Centre, where he smacked one of the visitors\u2019 five home runs on the evening against the Blue Jays.<\/p>\n<p>Plagued by slow starts in the past, Bregman flipped the script in his first month with the Red Sox. The two-time World Series champion currently leads the club in most major hitting categories, including average (.331), hits (40), RBIs (23) and home runs (six). The torrid pace at the place continues to impress teammates, who watched Bregman log 10 multi-hit games in April.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSomething that he does that not a lot of people in the league do (is to be) totally OK with giving the other pitcher a free strike and then still put together a quality at-bat about every time,\u201d Garrett Crochet told reporters Tuesday, per The Boston Globe. \u201cI think that\u2019s a very unique skill that he (has). The way that he looks at hitting in general and even looks at pitching, it\u2019s helped out the entire team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bregman\u2019s penchant to lead by example seemingly was one of the big reasons why the Red Sox were so motivated to sign the 31-year-old over the offseason. The investment paid dividends immediately, as Bregman was one of the steadying forces for Boston when it periodically dealt with early season woes.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Should Bregman help lead the Red Sox to another victory Wednesday, it will mark the first time this year that Boston reached four games above .500. NESN\u2019s full coverage of the middle game begins at 6 p.m. ET, but fans won\u2019t want to miss Bregman\u2019s episode of \u201cThe Mindset,\u201d which airs at 5:30 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<\/article>\n<p>Featured image via John E.
