There were lots of good candidates for the MVP of yesterday, but I’m going with Billy Butler of the Royals. The main reason for this is because Butler’s 7 RBIs made up seven of Kansas City’s 9 runs as they edged out the Phillies 9-8. By comparison, Will Middlebrooks‘ 3 dingers against Toronto and Carlos Santana had five hits against Tampa, those were in blowouts- Billy Butler’s performance came in a close game.
And that is why he is the MVP of Yesterday. Go below the jump for the current MVP standings:
Yu Darvish: 1
Cliff Lee: 1
Chris Davis: 1
Justin Upton: 1
Billy Butler: 1
