Great Day for McKee -- 5 Hits
Kansas City first baseman Steve McKee could do no wrong in today's 14-2 win over the Indians as he collected 5 hits.

"Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," Indians skipper Jason Chowning said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts."

McKee agreed, saying that getting ahead early in the counts was "the key" to his game.

"Once you get ahead, it makes it a lot easier because you get a better pitch to hit," he said. "You know the pitcher has to come in with it. And you're ready."

Steve McKee hit an RBI double in the 1st, hit a three-run home run off Mario Peraza in the 2nd, singled in the 3rd, hit an RBI double in the 5th, flied out in the 7th and singled in the 9th.

McKee is presently hitting at a .239 pace with 27 home runs, 94 RBIs and has scored 79 times.
