June 13, 200817 yr Bow before the awesome might of the Q. When the White Sox were struggling with the bats during May, Carlos Quentin's high level of offensive production played a major role in helping the White Sox maintain their spot atop the American League Central. Apparently, Quentin's work didn't go unnoticed outside of Chicago. Quentin was selected by fans in an online vote as the winner of the "Major League Baseball Clutch Performer of the Month Presented by Pepsi" for the previous month. The "MLB Clutch Performer of the Month Presented by Pepsi" winner is selected by the fans from a list of six nominees chosen by a special editorial panel from MLB.com, the official website of Major League Baseball. During the first week of each month, fans can visit a microsite powered by MLB.com specifically created for the Clutch Performer Platform, pepsiclutch.mlb.com, to vote for the nominee they believe was the best Clutch Performer during the previous month. In 29 games in May, Quentin hit .290 (31-for-107) with seven home runs and 27 RBIs. The 25-year-old outfielder collected five doubles and 15 runs scored while posting a .533 slugging percentage and a .366 on-base percentage. He compiled 10 multi-hit games, including two three-hit games, and seven multi-RBI contests
