Big Day for Espinal: Swats 5 Hits Thursday, September 2nd , 2049 Some days you can't win for losing. Just ask Fernando Espinal -- he was the King of Swing against the Tigers, but his Tigers were beaten, 7-5, anyway. The Ho Chi Minh City right fielder had 5 chances against Detroit and delivered 5 hits in a sensational game. "Unbelievable feeling," he told the press. "It felt great to be hitting like that, but a downer when you look at the scoreboard. 5-for-5 does wonders for your confidence, but it's a shame we couldn't win, too." Fernando Espinal hit an RBI single in the 1st, singled in the 4th, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 8th. Espinal has collected 146 hits for the Tigers this year, 6 of them home runs. He has also netted 50 RBIs and scored 47 runs while batting .365. View Boxscore |
