Stat of the Day: Gordon’s Player of the Month Record

Alex Gordon hit .265/.348/.510 with seven home runs in August, 2016, earning Royals Player of the Month honors while leading Kansas City to its first 20-win month since August, 1989.

In doing so, Gordon notched his 13th Player of the Month Award, matching Mike Sweeney for most by a Royal since the club award was established in 1995.

The next closest to Gordon and Sweeney are Billy Butler, Eric Hosmer and Joakim Soria — all of whom have won the award eight times.
