 | Sunday, July 21st, 2030: 5-5 Day for Lorentz
It was a hits blitz for Roy Lorentz at Jacobs Field. The Cleveland Indians right fielder tore into Detroit for 5 hits in 5 at-bats to pace the Indians to a 17-5 victory and wrote his name into the baseball record book.
The manager for the Tigers bemoaned his pitching, saying, "We fell behind and weren't locating well. Once you get behind in the count, you have to make real good pitches, rather than good pitches, and we weren't able to do that today." He added, "Not to take anything away from Lorentz, but bad location was the story of the ballgame. That's why we lost the game."
R. Lorentz walked in the 1st, hit an RBI double in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off M. Pabtojas in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 6th, singled in the 8th and hit a GRAND SLAM off N. Cameron in the 9th.
This season Lorentz has hit 8 home runs and posted a .285 batting average.
