5 Hits for Indians Mendez Tuesday, April 22nd, 2053 Ezequiel Mendez put on a hitting clinic today as the Cleveland Indians dumped the Houston Astros 17-2 at Progressive Field. The Cleveland center fielder made Houston defenders earn their pay, lashing Houston pitching for 5 hits in 5 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," Mendez said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch." Ezequiel Mendez doubled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit an RBI triple in the 5th, singled in the 7th, walked in the 7th and hit an RBI single in the 8th. So far this year Mendez is batting .286 with 1 home run. View Boxscore View Game Log |
