Velasco Jr. Rips 3 Homers Against Royals Sunday, May 19th , 2052 Ruben Velasco Jr. brutalized the Kansas City Royals pitching staff, launching three home runs in today's 6-1 victory at U.S. Cellular Field. The Chicago White Sox right fielder was red-hot, the ball just exploding off his bat all day. "I don't try to hit homers," he said later. "I try to go out there and put a good swing on the ball, and sometimes it is going to go out of the park. I didn't try to hit the first one or the second one or the third one." For the game, he went 4-for-4 with 4 RBIs and 3 runs scored. "Too much Ruben Velasco Jr. today," Royals manager Jordan Royals said. "That's my assessment of the game. That's what our problems boiled down to." Ruben Velasco Jr. doubled in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Tong-myeon Moon in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Tong-myeon Moon in the 6th and hit a two-run home run off Tong-myeon Moon in the 8th. This season Velasco Jr. is hitting at a .336 pace with 18 home runs, 51 RBIs and has scored 34 times. |
