Whit Merrifield Knocks Fifth Home Run
6 years agoKansas City Royals second baseman/outfielder Whit Merrifield set the tone for the team's destruction of Detroit on Saturday when he led the game off with a double. He'd later add a home run in the fifth inning, giving him six extra-base hits in his last five games. Merrifield was coming off an empty performance on Friday, his first game in nearly two weeks in which he didn't get a hit or score a run, but that bad game came against Matthew Boyd, one of the league's up-and-coming great pitchers. Merrifield is firmly planted at the top of KC's lineup, and he should return excellent value once again this season.
