Today was a special one for Luis Aceves of the Kansas City Royals as he slammed three home runs in the 8-0 Royals win over the New York Yankees.

"Lately, I've been uppercutting the ball too much," he said to sportswriters after the game. "I would hit it hard, but they just went sky high and stayed in the ballpark. No big long outs for me in this game. I leveled out my swing and connected on the sweet spot. I knew they were gone the minute I hit 'em."

The Kansas City first baseman collected 3 hits in 4 at-bats, drove in 6, and scored 3 runs in the contest at Kauffman Stadium.

Luis Aceves hit a solo-shot off Ludovic Bruneau in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Ludovic Bruneau in the 3rd, hit a sac fly in the 4th, struck out in the 6th and hit a three-run home run off Nate Avis in the 8th.

So far this year, Aceves is hitting .245 with 16 home runs.

The American League Batter of the Month has been chosen for June and the trophy was presented to Arturo Oramas of the Kansas City Royals.

He stood out this month with a .379 batting average, 36 hits and 5 home runs, along with 24 RBIs and 15 runs scored.

This season, Oramas is hitting .324 with 93 hits, 11 home runs, 45 RBIs, scored 51 runs and played in 81 games.

Minor League News

A standout performance in June earned Mike Mattson the Pitcher of the Month Award in the Texas League. When his name was penciled in to start by the Northwest Arkansas skipper, it meant trouble for opposing teams. For the month the Naturals star racked up 4 wins and no losses.

In 33.2 innings of work, Mattson limited opposing batters to 30 base hits and a .252 batting average. He notched 35 strikeouts, issued 13 walks and had a 1.87 ERA.

So far this season, Mattson has compiled a 11-2 record with a 2.99 ERA.

It was a good month for Columbia Fireflies third baseman Mike Mott, June's Carolina League Batter of the Month.

Mott starred by hitting .439 with a .526 on-base percentage. He totaled 36 hits in 82 at-bats, 9 home runs, 19 RBIs and scored 18 runs.

This year, Mott is hitting .343 with 20 home runs and 49 RBIs in 61 games played. He also boasts an OBP of .460 with 38 walks and 44 runs scored.

Question: Who was the #1 pitcher in the Carolina League in June?
Answer: That would be Jeff Mole of the Columbia Fireflies.
He excelled with a 6-0 mark and a 1.91 ERA in 6 starts, tossed 37.2 innings, fanned 43 and held opposing teams to a .172 average. That's exactly why the Carolina League scribes voted him the Pitcher of the Month.

Currently Mole has a record of 12-0 with 97 strikeouts and 30 walks in 90.1 innings and a 2.49 ERA.
