Los Angeles (A) second baseman Howie Kendrick could do no wrong in today's 10-8 win over the Red Sox as he collected 5 hits.
"In every one of his at-bats things were in his favor... he got hitter's counts," the skipper of the Red Sox said to the press corps after the game.
Kendrick agreed. "The key is getting ahead. Once you get ahead, it makes it a lot easier because you get a better pitch to hit. You know the pitcher has to come in with it. And you're ready."
H. Kendrick doubled in the 1st, hit a GRAND SLAM off M. Bowden in the 2nd, doubled in the 4th, singled in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off J. Papelbon in the 8th.
This year Kendrick is batting .343 with 8 home runs and 41 RBIs.
