Friday, September 18th , 2111
The fans at Wrigley Field witnessed Ricky Gonzalez write his name into the league record book with three home runs, but the Pittsburgh Pirates still dropped the decision to the Chicago Cubs, 11-10.
"I've always loved hitting in Wrigley Field," Gonzalez said, speaking with reporters after the game. "You can see the ball so well. I'm glad I got the homers, but three hits and a win would have been nicer."
For the day, he collected 3 hits in 4 at-bats, scored 3 runs and had 6 RBIs.
Ricky Gonzalez flied out in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off Brian Martinko in the 4th, hit a two-run home run off Sam Delcour in the 6th and hit a three-run home run off Scott Andrus in the 8th.
In 31 games this season, Gonzalez has batted at a .219 pace with 21 hits and 9 home runs.
