Merced Has Hot Hand, Bangs 5 hits
Orlando Merced was on fire today and sparked his club to a 14-2 victory over the Twins. The Kansas City right fielder was a tough out and went 5-for-6 against Minnesota in a fine hitting display.

"I got my pitches and I connected. They all found the right holes on the diamond. Some days you hit shots and they're right at somebody and some days they fall in."

Orlando Merced singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 6th, struck out in the 7th and singled in the 9th.

So far this season, Merced has recorded a .337 batting average with 34 hits, 2 home runs, 18 RBIs, 18 runs scored and a .433 OBP.
