Hey, Alex Gordon has more hits this year then Brandon Inge at least.
All kidding aside, Duckworth was sharp. A sick sinker worked awesomely in the elements but Riske even said after he felt with guys on 1st and 2nd and 0 out Pudge would bunt. He out thought himself and because of it, Pudge went yard.
Royals are a gritty team though, and Pena Jr is the best fielding SS in the game.
