Verdugo went 3-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Monday's 11-4 win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Verdugo joined the Patriots' Day morning party at Fenway Park, singling and scoring in the first inning before launching his third home run of the season in the third. He later delivered a seventh-inning single off position player Yermin Mercedes.

Verdugo went 1-for-4 with a three-run double in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Verdugo's bases-clearing double with two outs in the eighth inning knotted the game at three runs apiece and gave him nine RBI over the last five games. The heroics, however, went for naught, as Adam Ottavino allowed the winning run to score an inning later. The outfielder is on a tear, notching 13 hits over his last 37 at-bats (.351/.419/.649).

Verdugo was a combined 5-for-8 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored over both games of Wednesday's doubleheader sweep over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Verdugo had an important hand in each game. The outfielder preserved the daytime affair with a diving, sliding catch of a sinking liner that was the final out of a 3-2 win. In the nightcap, Verdugo laced a two-run single to snap a 1-1 tie in Boston's six-run fifth inning. He continued to mash opposition pitching, having gone 12-for-33 with two homers, four doubles, eight RBI and 11 runs scored over the last eight contests.

Verdugo went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and a second run scored in Sunday's 14-9 win over Baltimore.
EDGE Analysis
Verdugo's blast was one of six the Red Sox hit and his first of the season. After posting zeros in an opening-series sweep at the hands of the Orioles, Verdugo's bat has heated up. Boston's two-hole hitter is 7-for-22 with four doubles, one home run, five RBI and nine runs scored over the last five games.
