San Diego Padres' leadoff batter Xander Bogaerts opens up about his early-season struggles.

However, a solid weekend against the Toronto Blue Jays has Bogaerts feeling a little more confident., “I ain’t gonna lie. I come to the ballpark every day, and I’m not doing my job. It sucks. It sucks for me more than anyone else. The amount that I care for this game and the amount that I care to succeed, it really sucks. It’s tough to see me go through it. But I’ll keep my chin up and keep going.

In his last two games, Bogaerts was 3-for-9 with a home run, three RBIs, one run scored, and six total bases. It was his second homer of the season and Sunday was his first multi-hit game since April 3. He also drew a bases-loaded walk.. “The walk there at the end is a good sign. The whole year, I’ve said I’ve been seeing the ball better than normal. Then I had a couple strikeout games in a row. So, hopefully, this continues for a while.

“He’s always sprinting back and forth from the dugout to the clubhouse to the cages to look at video, get his swing right, get dialed in. We trust him and believe in his work ethic.”
