Left fielder Wes Covington (.292-20-67) is having the best month of his best season. Covington hit .375-3-11 in 11 games, with a 1.214 OPS. He leads the club in RBI, co-leads in home runs, and is on pace to establish career highs in both categories.

After a hot start, the Mick is having trouble adjusting to his new environs at the Frank. The former Boston Beacon and Chicago Colt is hitless in his last 18 at-bats, and is hitting just .209 in his last 14 games. Despite his recent woes at the plate, Mantle is having his best year -- in terms of OBP (.392), SLG (.518) and OPS (.909) since 1955.
