EDGE Analysis
Wong essentially put the game away for the Red Sox in the eighth inning, swatting a two-run shot to left-center field. The blast extended his modest hitting streak to eight games, during which he is slashing .310/.333/.690 with two homers, five doubles and four RBI. Wong's strong hitting appears to have cemented his place ahead of Reese McGuire on the catcher depth chart -- since May 24, Wong has started five games to McGuire's two.

Wong went 1-for-3 with a homer and two runs scored in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Wong smacked a 420-foot homer to center field to round the bases for the fifth time this season. He has produced a powerful May with a .565 slugging percentage. For the season Wong has a .738 OPS as he has produced in his first chance with regular playing time. But he will likely continue to split time with Reese McGuire, as they both have at least 70 plate appearances this season.
