Carlos Beltran has been named the American League's Player of the Week by Major League Baseball today for his work last week. Beltran batted .423 (11 for 26) with four doubles, three home runs, six RBI's and seven runs scored over his last seven games. Beltran also slugged .923 and had 24 total bases while tying for the league leads in hits, doubles, and finished second in batting average, home runs, and runs scored for the week. The Player of the Week award is his fourth of his career in the American League and 10th overall.
Congratulations to Beltran and congratulations to the Yankees, there is no way they beat Boston three out of four games without the contributions from Carlos this weekend.
