 | Tuesday, June 3rd, 1958: 3-Homer Hat Trick for Jiménez
Bigger paychecks may be in the offing, if Rafael Jiménez continues to hit like he did today against the Blue Hens. The Portsmouth first baseman crushed three into the stands at Downtown Ballpark in a remarkable performance, propelling the Spartans to a 12-8 win over Baltimore.
He tagged 3 hits in 4 at-bats, drove in 7 runs and scored 3 times.
Speaking to writers after the game, he said, "It was just one of those days when you got something to hit and did something with it." The Baltimore skipper agreed with him. "We made three mistakes and he made us pay each time."
R. Jiménez walked in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off R. Syvestre in the 3rd, hit a three-run home run off K. Sugano in the 4th, flied out in the 5th, hit a three-run home run off Q. Jervis in the 7th and walked in the 9th.
This season-to-date Jiménez has 20 home runs and a .379 batting average.
