Nicky Lopez Notches Another Three-Hit Game
3 years agoKansas City Royals shortstop Nicky Lopez was a single-hitting machine in the team's four-game series against the Seattle Mariners. In Sunday's series finale, he went 3-for-4 with three singles and a run scored. It was his third consecutive game with exactly three singles. He went 10-for-17 overall in the series with all 10 of his hits being singles. Lopez is slashing .292/.361/.362 on the season. He has 18 stolen bases on the year, 10 of which have come this month. He's cemented into the No. 2 spot in the team's batting order, so he should continue to produce runs and stolen bases going forward as long as he can keep hitting. Just don't expect any power production as he has only one home run over 119 games on the year.
