Xander Bogaerts Shines with Homer and Game-Winning Run Against Former Team

San Diego Padres infielder Xander Bogaerts had a strong performance against his former team, the Boston Red Sox, on Saturday night. He hit his 10th home run of the season, a leadoff shot in the second inning to tie the game, and also contributed an RBI single in the third. Bogaerts ultimately scored the winning run from second base in the 10th inning on Ramón Laureano's walk-off single, helping the Padres to a 5-4 victory. Bogaerts signed a substantial 11-year deal with the Padres in December 2022.
