M.J. Melendez

In yesterday afternoon's meeting between the Kansas City Royals and the Boston Red Sox, rookie Royals catcher M.J. Melendez collected an astonishing six RBI on the way to his Club's 13-5 victory. Melendez's impressive RBI tally came courtesy of a third-inning RBI single, a pair of sacrifice flies in the seventh and eighth innings, and a climactic fifth-inning, three-run home run. Melendez has been a key piece to this newly refreshed Kansas City lineup, and interestingly, the 23-year-old Melendez has belted three longballs in his last three games.
