The Red Sox entered Sunday’s finale against the Tampa Bay Rays on a nine-game win streak. Their already-hot team got even hotter when Bregman returned to the lineup Friday after a seven-week absence due to a quad strain.

For the first time in 42 games, Red Sox manager Alex Cora penciled Alex Bregman's name onto the lineup card on Friday night. Bregman got the start at third base and went 1-for-4 with a double in Boston’s 5-4 win over the Rays.
