5-Hit Blitz by Cabrera
A jubilant Miguel Cabrera joined the postgame press conference at Kauffman Stadium today to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Boston Red Sox pitching staff he had just vanquished.

"It may not have looked like it," said the Kansas City Royals left fielder, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different."

That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 5-for-5 hitting performance, which led the Royals to a 15-0 win.

"He made it look easy," said Jonathan Sanders, manager of the Red Sox. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously."

Miguel Cabrera singled in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off James Paxton in the 4th, singled in the 5th, hit a two-run home run off Josh Lindblom in the 5th, singled in the 7th and walked in the 8th.

Cabrera's current batting average stands at .354 and he has chalked up 18 home runs and 67 RBIs.
