Red Sox outfielder Yoenis Cespedes continued his tear Friday, as he went deep for the third time in five games in a 5-3 loss to the Astros.
Cespedes had just one hit in the game, as he went 1 for 4 with two strikeouts. He made that hit count, clubbing a two-run home run in the fourth inning to get the Red Sox on the board.
Cespedes has just four hits over his last five games, but three have gone for home runs, and he has driven in eight runs in that span. He is hitting .240/.255/.480 in 12 games with the Red Sox.
