30 Jul

in the swing

After a rough start in the month of July (see previous post), Mitch Moreland appears to have found his stroke in the month’s last week. Since Monday, the former Mississippi State standout is 10-for-25 (.400). He homered today, his 13th of the year and 22nd career, off Toronto left-hander Brad Mills, propelling the first-place Rangers to a 3-0 victory. It was the left-handed hitting Moreland’s first “official” homer off a lefty hurler. He hit one in the World Series last year and another, a grand slam, that was washed out by a rainout earlier this season. His recent tear has lifted his season average to .274.
