5-for-5 Game for Rodriguez
Getting 5 hits in a game has always been memorable feat in baseball. In the Kansas City's 15-7 win over Baltimore today, catcher Ivan Rodriguez was red-hot, scorching them for hit after hit at Royals Stadium 1973.

"To hit the ball consistently well, you have to relax," Rodriguez said afterward. "I was relaxed for the first four hits, but I have to admit, I got a little tight when I realized I had a chance for five. On the last at-bat, I was ready to swing at anything close."

Ivan Rodriguez hit a two-run single in the 1st, hit an RBI double in the 2nd, doubled in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 6th and walked in the 8th.

Thus far this season in 8 games Rodriguez is batting .424 with 2 home runs, 11 RBIs and 9 runs scored. He has 14 hits in 33 at-bats.
