Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman has quite the story to tell his second child, after logging his first-ever five-hit night before starting his paternity leave.

Those were Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman‘s parting words Tuesday after his career-high five-hit game. He's headed back to Boston for the birth of his second child.

Third baseman Alex Bregman matched that total all by himself on Tuesday, the first time in his Major League career that he's gotten five hits in one game. Hall of Famer Wade Boggs, considered to be the best third baseman in franchise history, did it three times in his career, but many great major leaguers never reach the milestone at all.
