Bregman is Fenway fantastic

Top Stories

Newly-minted Bostonian Alex Bregman (Red Sox) made quite a splash in a Fenway Park doubleheader on April 6. The third baseman began the day by showing off his trademark plate discipline: after facing a 1-and-2 count against RHP Andre Pallante (Cardinals), he stretched the at-bat to 10 pitches and ended up drawing a walk. Boston ended up winning 5-4 in 10 innings, with Bregman going 0-for-4 at the plate. But he more than made up for that disappointment with a career day in Game 2, going 4-for-5 with a 3-run home run that traveled 411 feet over the center-field wall, 2 doubles, and 6 RBIs in an 18-7 thrashing of St. Louis. It marked the seventh 4-hit game of Bregman’s career and the second time he has driven in 6 runs (4/7/2025)
1B Matt Mervis (Marlins) broke out in a big way in a 4-0 shutout of the Braves on April 5, going 3-for-5 with 2 dingers and 3 RBIs. The homers, his first in a Miami uniform, made Mervis the 18th MLB hitter this season to record a multi-HR game. “I was never discouraged,” said Mervis, who entered the day 2-for-15 with 7 strikeouts, in an post-game interview. “The confidence is always there. I’ve been doing really good work with the hitting coaches, just really waiting for it to click. And then today, it finally did.” Mervis’s second HR traveled 421 feet (4/6/2025)
