RF Mookie Betts fell a homer shy of the cycle, finishing 4-for-5 with two triples and three runs scored. He became the first Boston player with two triples in a game since Carl Crawford on May 26, 2011 at Detroit. His four hits matched a career high.

OF Mookie Betts, who hit a home run on Opening Day last year, hit a two-run homer in the third inning on Tuesday.

According to ESPN Stats, Betts, 23, is the youngest Red Sox player in the last 100 years to hit Opening Day home runs in multiple seasons.

Betts hit a pair of homers and drove in three runs Wednesday against the Yankees.

That's three homers in the last two days and six hits (all for extra bases) in the last three days for the impressive young outfielder, who could record his first 20-20 season if he can find a way to crack a couple more long balls in the season's last few days. He's sitting on a shiny .294/.342/.486 line, but the best is yet to come.
