Springfield, MO - Major League Baseball announced on Monday that Springfield Cardinals OF Moises Gomez has won the Texas League Player of the Week award for April 11 - 18.

Gomez, 23, enjoyed a powerful week in Arkansas, clobbering five home runs through the five games he played against the Travelers. Overall on the week, Gomez hit .412 (7x17) with the five homers, two doubles and nine RBIs. He became the first Cardinal of the season to notch a multi-homer performance with two home runs in last Tuesday's 6-3 win.

The Caracas, Venezuela native not only leads the Texas League but is also tied for the lead in all of Double-A with six home runs already. Through six total games so far this year, the slugger is batting .381 (8x21) with all eight of his hits going for extra-bases (six homers, two doubles).
