Jiménez Bombs 3 HR Against St. Louis
Friday, July 4th , 2059
Rochester Spartans shortstop Augusto Jiménez had a magnificent game against the St. Louis Sportsman today, rocketing three balls out of Spartans Stadium to help the Spartans take the 12-7 victory.
"I got some good pitches to hit and I creamed them," he said after the game. "The first was a big, fat fastball and the last two were hanging curves. All three were mistakes."
For the game, Jiménez went 3-for-4 with 5 RBIs and 3 runs scored.
"There's a fine line between hitting home runs and line drives," Rochester manager said later. "Seems like Augusto found his home run stroke today."
Augusto Jiménez grounded out in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off Héctor Parra in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Esteban Martínez in the 7th and hit a three-run home run off Juan Andrés in the 8th.
Jiménez is presently hitting at a .273 pace with 10 home runs and 29 RBIs. He has played in 54 games and scored 35 times.
