ELITE COMPANY: David Ortiz has 599 career doubles and needs only 1 more to become the 3rd player in MLB history with at least 600 doubles and 500 HR...Hank Aaron and Barry Bonds are the only players to accomplish the feat. PLAYERS WITH 500 HR, 600 DOUBLES (MLB HISTORY) PLAYER SEASONS 2B HR Hank Aaron 23 (1954-76) 624 755 Barry Bonds 22 (1986-2007) 601 762 David Ortiz 20 (1997-2016) 599 512 SCORING IN BUNCHES: This is only the second time in franchise history Boston has scored 11+ runs in 4 consecutive games (also 6/2-5/1950)...The last team to accomplish the feat was Atlanta in 2007 (4 G, 7/29-8/2), and the last AL team to do it was Seattle in 2000 (4 G, 4/14-18). According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the Red Sox are only the third team in the modern era (since 1900) to score 11+ runs and record 14+ hits in 4 consecutive games, joining the 1929 New York Giants (6/19-21) and 1930 Philadelphia Athletics (7/15-18). Elias also notes that the Red Sox streak of 4 consecutive games in which they scored 11+ runs and won by a margin of 7+ runs is the longest for any team since PIT won 4 straight in that fashion in 1901. 18 AND COUNTING: Jackie Bradley Jr. has hit safely in 18 straight games, the longest active streak in the majors and tied for the longest of the season...it also matches the Sox longest hitting streak of the 2015 season (Betts)...The last Boston player with a longer hitting streak was Jacoby Ellsbury (19 games, 6/19-7/11/13). Since his streak began (4/24), Bradley leads the majors in OPS (1.290), SLG (.838), RBI (25), triples (tied, 3), and XBH (14)...He also leads the AL in HR (tied, 6) and is batting.412 (28-for-68) with a.452 OBP. LONGEST HITTING STREAKS IN MLB (2016) PLAYER TEAM GAMES DATES Eric Hosmer KC 18 4/10-29 Jackie Bradley Jr. BOS 18 4/24-present POWER SURGE: Boston has hit 29 homers in its last 17 games (beginning 4/25), most in MLB in that span...the Sox have homered in 13 straight games, the longest streak by any team in 2016 and Boston s longest in a single season since 5/24-6/6/2000 (13 games)...they last had a longer singleseason home run streak from 8/13-28/96 (15 games). SLUGGIN SOX: The Red Sox lead the majors in runs (207), hits (367), AVG (.295), SLG (.485), OPS (.841), and doubles (90)...They also lead the AL in OBP (.355, 3rd in MLB) and triples (10, T-4th)...Their.295 AVG is 17 points higher than the majors next-highest mark (PIT-.278). Boston has recorded at least 10 hits in a game a major league-best 22 times (STL ranks 2nd, 18 times)...the Sox have had 10+ hits in 10 of their last 11 home games. HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE: The Red Sox have won each of their last 7 home games, their longest win streak at Fenway since 5/28-6/13/14 (7 games)...they last had a longer home winning streak from 7/5-24/11 (9 games). The Sox have scored at least 8 runs and recorded at least 14 hits in each of their last 6 games at Fenway, the longest such streak in the venue s history. GETTING DEFENSIVE: The Red Sox have committed only 14 errors this season, tied for 2nd-fewest in the majors (WSH-10)...The Sox and Nats are the only 2 teams without a multi-error game.

SOX AND STROS: Tonight the Red Sox continue their 7-game season set against the Astros (3-1 thus far)...nine current Red Sox have at least 20 at-bats and a.300 AVG or better vs. HOU (see page 4). Among 859 players with at least 100 at-bats against the Astros, Dustin Pedroia s.419 career AVG ranks 1st all-time, 37 points ahead of the 2nd-highest mark (Eric Owens,.382)...It is also the highest AVG for any active player against a single opponent (min. 100 AB).

Wright has recorded at least 6.0 IP and allowed 2 runs or fewer in each of his 6 starts in 2016...The only Red Sox in the last 70 years (1946-2015) to begin a season with 7 or more such starts is Roger Clemens in 1991. SPREAD THE WEALTH: Last night, all 9 batters in the Red Sox starting lineup recorded at least 1 hit...boston has accomplished that feat 4 times this season (4/24 at HOU, 5/1 vs. NYY, 5/11 vs. OAK, 5/12 vs. HOU). Eight different Red Sox have recorded at least 18 RBI this season, more than any other team in the majors...
