Reaches 20-homer mark Renfroe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 8-1 win over Baltimore.

Impact The outfielder scored after singling in the second inning, then followed up with a solo shot in the seventh. Renfroe is back to the 20-homer mark after falling short during 2020's shortened season. He's gone deep three times in his last eight games. For the season, Renfroe owns a .256/.312/.480 slash line, 68 RBI, 63 runs scored and 24 doubles through 414 plate appearances. Boston's outfield is a little more crowded with the addition of Kyle Schwarber (hamstring/groin) and the return of Alex Verdugo (personal) -- that could lead to more rest days down the stretch for Renfroe.

Renfroe hit second Wednesday and took advantage of his opportunity to move higher in the lineup with Alex Verdugo (personal) away from the team. For the season, Renfroe has a .255/.312/.476 slash line across 407 plate appearances.
