Jul 2 Mauer went 3-for-3 Wednesday in the Minnesota Twins' 5-1 victory over the Kansas City Royals, raising his average to .392. He's eight plate appearances short of the 3.1 per game needed to qualify for the batting race.

Advice: Mauer, whose batting average dipped below on June 23, was hitting just .212 (7 for 33) with one RBI in his previous nine games.

STATS LLC


Jul 1 Mauer went 3-for-3 with an intentional walk to raise his batting average .392 in Wednesday's win over Kansas City.

Recommendation: Mauer has a decent shot to go into the All Star break hitting .400. While he's still leading the AL in OPS and Batting Average, he had just three home runs in June after hitting 11 in May.

Jul 1 C Joe Mauer went 3-for-3 with two walks (one intentional), raising his average from .383 to .392. After hitting .414 in May, Mauer batted .353 in June. His batting average (which at its peak in June hit .436) still does not qualify as the major leagues' best because he doesn't have the requisite number of plate appearances after missing April with a lower back injury.
