CHICAGO â When YermÃn Mercedes became the first player in modern history to start a season with eight consecutive hits, we waited for the Chicago White Sox rookie to come back to earth.
And when he finished April being named the American League Rookie of the Month, we waited for the law of averages to kick in.
Sooner or later, the waiting is going to have to stop.
While Mercedes has come down from his .417 average in April, he still led the majors at .376 entering Thursdayâs 4-2 win over the Minnesota Twins and had hit .333 since the record-breaking 8-for-8 start.
