Matsui Wins Player Of The Month Honors: July
Quote:
Yankees manager Joe Torre said with Jason Giambi out of the lineup with a foot injury, left fielder Hideki Matsui would need to play the role of the team's leading power hitter. Matsui certainly filled that role to the fullest and earned American League Player of the Month honors for July.
In 28 games, the two-time All-Star batted .345 with 39 hits and 28 RBIs in 113 at-bats. He also led the league with a .735 slugging percentage, 13 home runs and 31 runs scored. Among his 18 extra-base hits last month, five were doubles. To cap off his brilliant July, Matsui slammed two home runs on Tuesday against the White Sox.
