 | Thursday, October 2nd, 2031: Acuña Tags 3 HR Against Mariners
Alin Acuña, the Baltimore shortstop, put on a dazzling display of power today at Oriole Park at Camden Yards against the Seattle Mariners. In the 8-5 victory Acuña penned his name into the record books, slamming a trio of home runs in one of baseball's finest single day efforts.
What a display it was -- three home runs, 3 hits in 4 at-bats, 7 RBIs and 3 runs scored. It certainly was a day for the league record books.
"He can hit them out anywhere, right, center, left, it doesn't matter," the Seattle manager said. "He's super strong and stays on the ball so good."
Talking about his theory of hitting after the game, Acuña said, "Life will always throw you curves, just keep fouling them off... the right pitch will come and when it does, be prepared to run the bases... or trot around the bases... like I did today."
So says the latest person to hit three homers in a game.
A. Acuña hit a three-run home run off G. García in the 1st, grounded out in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off G. García in the 5th and hit a three-run home run off P. Nieves in the 7th.
So far this season Acuña has hit .292 with 48 home runs, 148 RBIs and and scored 106 times.
