Mookie Betts homered three more times against the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday, but Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora doesn't intend to move him out of the leadoff spot in the batting order.

"I think the power is coming because of his approach," Cora told reporters, including WEEI's Ryan Hannable, after Wednesday's victory. "The temptation is to move him higher, probably. He'll hit leadoff for us the rest of the season."

With his latest big day, Betts also became the first player in Red Sox history to hit three home runs in a game four times, passing Ted Williams.

The 25-year-old leads MLB with 11 home runs this season - three of which have led off a game - and is slugging a ridiculous .823 out of the leadoff spot.
