Judge, Gennett named Players of the Week

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge and Cincinnati Reds Swiss army knife Scooter Gennett were named the Players of the Week for their respective leagues by Major League Baseball on Monday afternoon.

Judge went a ridiculous 12-for-24 over the last week with three home runs - including a monster shot Sunday - and drove in six. He scored 10 runs and walked as often as he struck out. He's leading all three categories in the AL Triple Crown race, and strikes constant fear into the hearts of opposing pitchers.

Gennett, like Judge, hit an even .500 for the week that was. But the real reason for his inclusion is his five-hit, four-home run, 10-RBI explosion against the St. Louis Cardinals last Tuesday. He had the kind of night no other active player has experienced. The last four-homer performance came off Josh Hamilton's bat in 2012.

In addition to that superhuman night, Gennett spent time playing right field, left field, third base, and second base through the week's games.
