 | Thursday, September 22nd, 2033: 5-Hits Blitz by Watson
5 hits in a game doesn't happen every day. Texas's Dave Watson had a very special day against the Tigers when everything came together for him and he did just that -- collected 5 hits in 6 at-bats -- and led the Texas Rangers to a 15-7 win at The Ballpark at Arlington.
"I'm just out there to try and help the team win," Watson said after the game, "I had some real good at-bats today. I made good, solid contact and luckily no one caught 'em."
D. Watson singled in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off J. Moore in the 2nd, grounded out in the 4th, singled in the 7th, singled in the 8th and hit a two-run home run off T. Bolton in the 9th.
This year Watson is hitting .334 with 14 home runs and 80 RBIs to his credit. He has gotten on base at a .402 clip and scored 120 runs.

The day belonged to Daniel Robertson of the Texas Rangers as he became the latest player to reach the 3000-hit plateau. He did it in Texas's 9-5 win over Chicago.
"It's a moment I'll never forget," said Robertson after the game, "3000 hits is a lot. It puts you in a very select group. I never expected to be around long enough to reach a milestone like this."
He finished the day with 2 hits in 4 at-bats.
During his career Robertson has hit for a .340 average and totaled 3001 hits, 524 home runs and 1842 RBIs.
