Betts (L); Porcello (R) |
For the second time this year, the editors of
FenwayNation have awarded a joint
Player Of The Month Award—and
both times
Rick Porcello was involved. For July, Porcello shares the honor with
Mookie Betts who had a spectacular month as well. Mookie hit .368 in July, with an on-base percentage of .415. The Red Sox right-fielder also slugged at an impressive .653 rate—clouting five HRs and knocking in 15. Betts also had a triple and
ten doubles—along with five stolen bases. Porcello was 5-0 during the month, with a stellar 2.57 ERA. The righty
walked just three batters in July, while striking out 22. Opposing batters hit only .248 against him and he compiled a WHIP of 1.03. Congratulations to Mookie and Rick—our
FenwayNation July Players Of The Month!
