Thursday is an exciting day to be Alex Bregman.<\/p>\n

The Boston Red Sox’s third baseman ticked off a major first in his new uniform on Thursday in the team’s 8-4 win over the Baltimore Orioles, and there’s a lot more to look forward to in the coming hours.<\/p>\n

In the first inning of Thursday’s game, Bregman blasted a two-run home run to left field against Orioles starter Charlie Morton. It was his first dinger in a Red Sox uniform, and it set the tone early for the previously struggling offense, which wound up with two more homers on the day.<\/p>\n

Bregman also added a pair of doubles later in the game, tacking on an RBI and a run scored. Next stop? The two-time All-Star’s Fenway Park debut.<\/p>\n

Speaking after the win in Baltimore, Bregman dished on his excitement to receive his welcome from the Boston crowd, but it sounds like the main thing he’s looking forward to is getting back to his new household.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s gonna be a blast. I can\u2019t wait,” Bregman said, per MassLive’s\u00a0Christopher Smith. “I\u2019m super excited just first and foremost tonight being able to see my wife and son. I haven\u2019t seen \u2018em in like a month and a half. So that\u2019ll be great. And obviously the ballpark tomorrow is gonna be rocking, so I can\u2019t wait to get there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bregman’s son is two years old, and his wife is pregnant with the couple’s second child. One can imagine that signing with a new team just days before spring training began sent the couple into scramble mode, so a week at home has to be a welcome proposition.<\/p>\n

When Boston takes the field at 2:10 p.m. EST on Friday against the St. Louis Cardinals, though, it’s safe to say Bregman will be laser-focused. The Red Sox have a chance to get back to .500, and they’ll need their number-three hitter to keep shining on both sides of the ball.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
