"The Texas Rangers went 3-3 in their past two series. Good thing they had Michael Young to get them that far.

The American League selected the Rangers utility player as its player of the week for the seven-day window beginning June 20 after he hit .481 and led baseball in slugging percentage (1.037) and total bases (28).

Young hit four home runs and is riding a personal-best three-game streak with a homer. He went 13 for 27 with nine RBIs in six games against Houston and New York."
