Max Kepler Hits Eighth Homer In Victory
6 years agoMinnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler went 1-for-4 with his eighth homer of the year in Friday night's 6-0 victory over the Detroit Tigers. The blast came in the fifth inning off of Tigers starter Tyson Ross, and he also drew a walk in the contest. Kepler is slashing .254/.326/.484 with eight home runs, 18 RBI and 19 runs scored on the season. He's also sporting a nice .810 OPS, .230 ISO and 0.61 BB/K ratio, and being an everyday starter in the Twins offense (leading the MLB in slugging percentage) is proving to be valuable so far this season. The young right fielder is a hold in all mixed leagues.
