Whit Merrifield Knocks Three Hits In Loss
5 years agoKansas City Royals utility man Whit Merrifield extended his hitting streak to 11 games with a three-hit effort against the Athletics on Thursday. Merrifield smacked three singles and scored two runs in the effort, though the team fell short on a goofy play at the end of the game. Merrifield has fully embraced that single life. His last 12 hits have all been singles, he's only had one non-single base hit in the last 18 days, and he hasn't walked in nearly three weeks. Merrifield has tallied 15 homers and 17 stolen bases this season, he's hitting a shade over .300, and he's already posted a new personal best in runs scored in a season. It's been another strong season for the 30-year-old.
