Alejandro De Aza went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Angels. De Aza tagged Ervin Santana for a leadoff home run, but the Sox ended up scoring only one more run in a 6-2 setback. The bomb was just De Aza's ninth of the season, though three have come in September. Arbitration eligible, the .281/.345/.414 hitting De Aza will almost certainly be back in center field for the Sox next season.
