San Diego Padres Second Baseman Xander Bogaerts has seemingly turned a corner after a rough start to the 2024 season. Bogaerts has hit a home run in back-to-back games and will look to keep it going as the season progresses. He hit a solo home run on Sunday against the Los Angeles Dodgers and on Monday against the Colorado Rockies. Before his two-game hot streak, Bogarts went hitless for four consecutive games. Bogaerts is 3-of-8 over the San Diego Padres’ last two games.
San Diego dominated the Los Angeles Dodgers winning 5-0 on Sunday and lost 5-4 on Monday night to a suddenly red-hot Colorado Rockies team. Colorado has won five straight games including the first game of their three-game set with the Padres.
Bogaerts is hitting .212 this season with four home runs and 13 RBI. Will he be able to build upon his hot few games?
