Wilyer Abreu is having the month of his career statistically, but don’t tell him that.

“I think [the less] I see my numbers is when I do better, because I’m not paying attention [to] my numbers,” the Red Sox right fielder said Friday. “So I just try to go out there, have fun, and play the game the right way.”

After Friday’s contest, when he went 3 for 4 with a walk in a 6-4 win over the Giants, Abreu has a .344 batting average and 1.191 OPS in August. Both would be his best in those categories in a month (minimum 10 games).

His August numbers continue a strong season, one in which he already has tied a career high in home runs at 22. He’s also strung together some special series, such as his back-to-back, two-homer games against the Rays.

“He goes in spurts, man,” Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said. “When he gets going, the swing shortens. He starts taking really good swings and he can string them together. And that’s what he’s doing now.”

Abreu’s season hasn’t been all smooth sailing. He hit five homers and had a .933 OPS during the Red Sox’ historic 15-game win streak in July, but also struck out a career-high 30 times that month. Fourteen of those punchouts came after the streak concluded.

Abreu also batted a season-low .186. He knew he wasn’t at his best.

“Like a month or so ago, I was chasing a little bit,” Abreu said. “I was chasing too much, so I realized where they were attacking me.”

He made a shift in his approach and has struck out just seven times this month. He’s also had three stretches in which he didn’t strike out in three or more consecutive contests, which happened only twice for him all season previously.

He has tried to keep things simple.

“Try to be stable with my body. Eliminate the movement of my head so I can see the ball a little better, so I can make a better decision when I’m swinging the bat … try to get a good pitch to do damage and stay on that,” Abreu said.

Abreu did damage on Friday when he got his line drive to ricochet off the outstretched glove of Giants right fielder Jung Hoo Lee. Some might argue it was an error, but he was credited with an RBI triple as Nick Sogard crossed the plate.

As the Red Sox continue to find success, Abreu is far from the only one who has been able to make a shift in his approach and see positive results. First baseman Willson Contreras is up to a career-high 26 home runs this year.

“I’m trying not to like overthink or think too much,” Contreras said in June. “Trying to keep my game simple: Make contact and let things happen.”

The two are at the top of many major statistics for the Red Sox, with Abreu notably leading the team in walks (59).

As it did during the win streak, Abreu’s hot spurt comes at the perfect time. October is slowly approaching, and outfielder Roman Anthony, along with shortstop Trevor Story, are trending in the right direction in their recoveries.

“When he gets locked in, he can carry it for a while,” Tracy said.
