Keep on counting.

Red Sox center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr. upped his MLB-leading hitting streak to 21 games on Sunday afternoon, going 1 for 5 with a line-drive single up the middle in a 10-9 victory over the Astros.

“He spent a lot of time trying to close the holes that might have developed in his swing by the potential of hitting for more power,” Red Sox manager John Farrell said on Saturday, via ESPN. “Even though those power numbers are coming now, it’s not because of an all-or-nothing approach. He’s picking out some counts, he’s getting some pitches up, and he’s driving the baseball. That time spent and frequent access to the facility, and obviously with Vic, has proven to be valuable.”
