What a start to an MLB career for Bobby Dalbec.
For the fourth consecutive game, the former Arizona Wildcat baseball standout went yard to increase his home run total to five in just his ninth game played for the Boston Red Sox.
He is the first Red Sox rookie to homer in four straight.
On Tuesday, Dalbec hit two long balls against the Phillies — one in each of the seven inning doubleheaders between the two squads.
In the first game, he took Phillies pitcher Tommy Hunter deep on an estimated 425-foot blast.

Dalbec made his MLB debut back on August 30 and — shocker — he homered in just his second at-bat.
In nine games, Dalbec is hitting .250 with five home runs, eight RBI and slugging .719.
