Whit Merrifield Tallies Three Hits On Wednesday
4 years agoKansas City Royals second baseman Whit Merrifield helped fuel the team's offense on Wednesday against the St. Louis Cardinals, going 3-for-5 with two doubles and two RBI. It was Merrifield's seventh multi-hit game this month. Over the season, Merrifield is slashing .309/.358/.496 with five home runs, 20 runs, 20 RBI and six stolen bases. The rest of the Royals' lineup has been a bit shaky lately, especially with Salvador Perez (eye) on the Injured List. If Jorge Soler and Hunter Dozier can pick things up, Merrifield should see his runs go up significantly. Regardless, Merrifield will still continue to contribute strong numbers. Keep rolling him out there in your starting lineups.
