In the second, Wong also hit a double that landed barely within the yellow line at the top of the renowned left-field wall of Fenway Park.

Since the game against the Guardians, Connor Wong has hit three home runs in as many days. This four-hit effort should increase his confidence as he has only ever reached the finals once.
