Hernandez went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double and a walk in Wednesday's win over Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez kicked off the scoring in the contest with a two-run shot to left field in the third inning. The long ball was his third in his past two games and 14th overall this season. Hernandez appears to be over the dry spell that saw him go 1-for-17 across five games between July 10 and July 18.

Hernandez went 3-for-5 with a double, two home run, three RBI, a walk and three runs scored Monday against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez belted a two-run homer in the top of the first inning, and he delivered a solo homer in the top of the sixth, marking his 12th and 13th home runs of the season. His performance on the plate was a welcome sight for Boston, as Hernandez was just 1-for-17 over his last five contests entering the night.

Hernandez started at shortstop for Xander Bogaerts (wrist) and went 1-for-3 with a double in Saturday's 3-1 rain-shortened loss to the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

This was Hernandez's first start at shortstop this season, although he's made more than 50 starts there during his career. Bogaerts' injury is not believed to be significant, so Hernandez could move to second base Sunday against right-hander Jameson Taillon. The call-up of rookie center fielder Jarren Duran causes a juggling act in center field, where Hernandez has primarily started, and at second base. Duran appears to be the likely center fielder when facing a right-hander, while Hernandez and Christian Arroyo compete for at-bats at second base.

EDGE Analysis

A day after he plated the winning run with a 10th-inning single, Hernandez looked to knock another pair of game-changing hits Saturday. He slugged a solo homer in the seventh frame to give Boston a two-run lead, then singled in a run in the 12th inning to put the Red Sox up by two again. Oakland scored three times in the bottom of the frame, however, to negate Hernandez's heroics. The utility man has come alive at the plate of late, particularly in the power department -- he has four long balls and eight RBI over his past seven games.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez made key plays in the field and at the plate in the 10th inning to secure Boston's eighth consecutive victory. In the top of the 10th, he plopped a broken-bat single over second base to plate Michael Chavis with the go-ahead run. Then, in the bottom half of the frame, he initiated a double-play, catching Sean Murphy's flyball and throwing out Seth Brown at home. Hernandez has hit safely in five of the last six games, posting a .364 (8-for-22) average with three home runs, six RBI and four runs scored during that span.

Hernandez went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a double and a walk in Sunday's loss against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Hernandez socked his sixth homer of the season off Mike Minor in the second inning, and he was Boston's biggest source of offense in a game where the team just couldn't take advantage of their opportunities. The former Dodgers utility man is only hitting .233 on the season but might be on the rise after hitting safely in four of his last five appearances.
