Records three hits in win
Yoshida went 3-for-5 with an RBI in Sunday's 7-5 win over the Angels.
Analyse
Yoshida's third single of the day in the seventh inning upped Boston's lead to 7-3. This was the first appearance five games for Yoshida, who is part of a rotation at designated hitter. He's hit safely in four straight games (7-for-13) with a double, a home run and two RBI during that stretch.

Idle against southpaw
Yoshida is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
Analyse
He'll be on the bench Wednesday while southpaw Andrew Alvarez serves as a primary pitcher for the Nationals, and the left-handed-hitting Yoshida's opportunities versus righties could soon dry up as well. The Red Sox have already been using Yoshida as a part-time player versus righties of late while he's put together an uninspiring .246/.329/.345 slash line (88 wRC+) in those matchups for the season. With Yoshida having been limited to just five starts in the outfield, he's not providing much defensive value to offset the lack of production he's provided out of the designated-hitter spot.
