Detroit right-fielder Matt Joyce went 4-for-6 with a triple, a home run, three runs scored and five RBIs Tuesday night in the Tigers’ 19-4 rout of the Kansas City Royals.
That’s a pretty good night for anyone, not just for a rookie. He keeps up that kind of hitting, he just might be … the best hitter on his team some night. While Joyce was having his career night, Miguel Cabrera, hitting in front of him, was one-upping him. Cabrera went 5-for-6 with two doubles, four runs scored and six RBIs.
OK, Joyce has been his team’s best hitter on a couple of other nights this season, but still. If I get four hits and five RBIs, I want to be the guy. Let’s win by only 10 runs and have Cabrera go 3-for-6, whattaya say?
