Pedroia homered for the second straight game and went 2-for-5 with two runs scored and four RBI in Tuesday night's win over Toronto. It's no secret that Pedroia's bat has been sub-par this season as the second baseman's slugging and run production are off from career norms. August, however, has been different. He's hitting .304/.336/.431/.767 with three homers, 13 RBI and 18 runs scored in what has been his most productive month.
