Whit Merrifield Knocks Three More Hits
5 years agoKansas City Royals utility player Whit Merrifield put up a trio of hits again on Tuesday, bringing him to 174 for the season. He also scored his 92nd run of the year as he continues his quest to the century mark. The infielder/outfielder has also hit safely in 13 of his last 15 games and bumped his average up to .302 on the season. With Adalberto Mondesi back, Merrifield is followed in the order by Mondesi (budding superstar), Jorge Soler (new franchise home run champ), and Hunter Dozier (All Star finalist). He should see another bump in his run production from here to the end of the season, even if he's only taken one walk in the last 20 days.
