Hampson goes 1-for-3 in KC loss
Garrett Hampson went 1-for-3 with one RBI in Tuesday’s loss to the Twins. Hampson drove in the Royals’ first run of the night when he singled home Nick Loftin in the fifth inning. It was a tough evening for the Royals, as the heart of their order failed to record a hit, leaving Hampson and the lower third of the order to act as run support. Hampson has now hit safely in five straight games but is off the fantasy radar due to his lack of offensive production. He’s driven in just six runs on the year.
Miranda collects two RB in win
Jose Miranda went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Tuesday’s win over the Royals. Miranda singled in the bottom of the first two to drive in two runs and gave the Twins an early lead. He’s now driven in four runs in his last two games and has hit safely in 10 of his last 12 games played. The Twins third baseman is slashing a solid .276/.313/.447 on the month and has five homers and 16 RBI on the season.
