Martin Maldonado Is On A Roll
5 years agoKansas City Royals catcher Martin Maldonado is loving the road right now. In the three games so far of the current road trip, Maldonado has knocked six hits including four doubles and a home run. He only had five doubles for the entire month of June prior to the last three days. Since June 15th, Maldonado has hit .361 while striking out just 8.1% of the time, one of the best streaks of his career. Obviously, it's unlikely at this point that Maldonado has unlocked the secret to being a .350 hitter for good, but this is the perfect kind of short-term pick-up that owners can make to help them along through the middle of the season.
