Alex Gordon: 21 hits in his last 56 at-bats, including a home run tonight. http://espn.go.com/mlb/player/gamelog/_/id/28636/alex-gordon … Royals lead STL, 6-4.

That's batting .375 if you're scoring at home ..... or even if you're alone.

Gordon turned into a really good player when he went into the outfield. Awesome fielder and a heck of a hitter, a shame the Royals could never build a better team.

This is pretty impressive:

Elias Sports Bureau ‏@EliasSports 39m
Mike Trout is the 1st player w/ at least 300 runs, 75 HR, and 75 steals in his first 400 @MLB games. @Angels at @Braves—8 pm ET on @ESPN.

Royals on a 9 game winning streak and in first place in the division.

The Rockies misspelled Troy Tulowitzki's name on the free jerseys they're giving away tonight: http://deadsp.in/nf6BO7G

The Tiger's just traded for David Price.

Name the first fired manager? I say Ron Washington. Texass Rangers boasted 43W to 67L, the worst standings in all MLB divisions, 25 games behind and yet 6th in total salaries list.

First MLB home run for Javy Baez in his first MLB game no less and it was a game winner. Not a bad debut.

Glad he was still in the game to do it. Going 0-5 doesn't instill a lot of confidence to make it happen in the 12th inning.

I'm thinking he didn't do too shabby for his MLB debut. Game deciding HR but hey what do I know?

He hit 2 more home runs today in the third major league game of his career. He's also been solid defensively.

I feel pretty confident in him.

Am I the only one that is really excited for how well the Royals are playing right now?
