Eric Hosmer Keeps Hot Streak Going

June could have went all summer if Eric Hosmer and his Kansas City Royals teammates had any say in the matter. Hosmer batted .303 with 6 homer runs during the month, while the Royals went 16-11. Despite the rough patch that they went through in May, the Royals are now only 4.5 behind the Detroit Tigers for the top position in the A.L. central. Hosmer has made some small changes to his approach at the plate since George Brett came on as the hitting coach. Mike Moustakas, David Lough and Lorenzo Cain have also made changes and are now playing up to their potential. It seems that the Royals have regained their swagger and are playing the type of ball that their fans and followers expected this year. This is the type of team that should be scoring 7 runs a game. They also need to win in streaks while a few of the players are hot. They will have lows where no one is hitting, but with the quality arms they now have on their staff they should be able to stay in games in most situations.
