FACTS/FLUKES: Gordon, Paxton, Lind, Betances, P. Alvarez

Gordon needs to cut down on the whiffs… A key contributor to the Royals’ 2015 championship season was Alex Gordon (OF, KC). In 2016, not so much; Gordon got off to a slow start, and then missed a month with a broken bone in his hand. As the Royals work to get back into the AL Central race, Gordon finds himself straddling the Mendoza line.
