Jose Abreu shouted with glee Thursday evening in the visiting clubhouse at Comerica Park when he heard a reporter ask Yoan Moncada about his new bats.
Abreu recently suggested Moncada try a lighter bat, and the White Sox veteran had some shipped for the rookie second baseman to Kansas City to begin the Sox's 10-game trip Monday.
Since he used them Monday, Moncada has had three multi-hit games in four tries and extended his hitting streak to six. That included a career-high four hits in a 17-7 victory over the Tigers.
