Valentin Belts 5 Hits Friday, September 4th , 2076 Juan Valentin put on a hitting clinic today as the Colorado Rockies dumped the Los Angeles Dodgers 11-1 at Dodger Park. The Colorado first baseman made Los Angeles defenders earn their pay, lashing Los Angeles pitching for 5 hits in 6 at-bats in the game. He told BNN reporters after the game that his strategy was "just hit it where they pitched it." "Too often I try too hard to pull the ball," Valentin said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch." Juan Valentin flied out in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Andy Mediate in the 5th, singled in the 7th, doubled in the 8th and hit a two-run home run off Shawn Slee in the 9th. So far this season Valentin has put up a .310 batting average with 138 hits, 28 home runs and 81 RBIs. View Boxscore View Game Log |
