ICYMI: Buster Posey's good friend, Hunter Pence, was named NL Player of the Week on Monday for knocking in 10 RBIs! This is the 4th time in his pro career that he's won this prestigious honor.
Pence also posted the NL's second-highest slugging percentage (.895) and ranked among the league leaders in batting average (.421) and on-base percentage (.500). He also hit two home runs and totaled 17 bases. Pence helped lead the Giants to a sweep of the Padres to begin the week, then on Sunday, he homered off Mets right-hander Noah Syndergaard to help San Francisco notch a win.
Pence's teammates, starting pitchers Bumgarner and Cueto, also were considered for the honor. Pence's San Francisco teammates Madison Bumgarner (2-0, 1.42 ERA, 16 SO, 12.2 IP) and Johnny Cueto (1-0, 0.00 ERA, 9.0 IP, 11 SO) also had incredible weeks!
Now we all need to support all of our Gmen in making it to the 2016 All-Star Game! I will post the voting link later today when I can keep my eyes open! Dream sweet, Giants fans!
