Alex Gordon having big May

Batting Alex Gordon third a good move for Royals
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(5/16/13) The Royals moving Alex Gordon to the third spot in the lineup has paid dividends not only for him but also for the team. Gordon is batting .429 (12 for 28) in seven games since the lineup change, and the Royals are averaging 5.4 runs per game in that span.

Gordon has been having a strong month, batting .357 (20 for 56) with three doubles, three home runs, nine runs and 11 RBI in 13 May games.

Alex Gordon thrives while batting third
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(5/9/13) Royals manager Ned Yost moved outfielder Alex Gordon to third in the lineup Thursday, with the intention of getting his most productive hitter closer to the heart of the order where he can drive in runs. For at least one night, it paid big dividends, as Gordon drove in two runs to lead the Royals to a 6-2 win over the Orioles.

Gordon went 2 for 4, with the big blow coming when he slugged a two-run home run in the fourth inning, his sixth of the season. He added a single in the eighth inning, and he came around to score the team's final run of the game.

Gordon has started 167 games at the third spot in the lineup, but has batted just .263; he has put up a .307 mark out of the leadoff spot. Yost made the decision to move Gordon back to the three hole to increase the punch provided by the heart of the lineup.

"I just think the most important two spots we have in the lineup now should be manned by Gordy and Billy [Butler], three and four," he told MLB.com "Everything else is kind of interchangeable, matchups, who's producing."
