MICHAEL YOUNG IS AL PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Michael Young, who is riding an 11-game hitting streak heading into today's series opener against the New York Yankees, has been selected the American League player of the week.

Young had three consecutive three-hit games and went 15-for-30 for the week. The 15 hits were more than any other player in the major leagues.

Young had two doubles, a triple, a homer and eight RBIs. Young's 11-game hitting streak gives him 19 hitting streaks of 10 games or longer, which ties Ivan Rodriguez for most in club history.
